Joakim Berghäll & Adele Sauros (FI) | T.I.M. (NO-FR) - MalmiJazz | Vapaat äänet 30 Years

This autumn, producer Charles Gilin celebrates the 30th anniversary of Vapaat äänet with two ensembles performing at Malmitalo. This is the 38th co-production tour between Vapaat äänet and the Finnish Jazz Association, running since 1996.

Joakim Berghäll & Adele Sauros present Runoja rauhalle - Poems for Peace, a programme born from Berghäll's solo improvisations. Anti-war poems from conflict zones around the world serve as the catalyst; melodic motifs were transcribed as they emerged, unaltered. Berghäll and Sauros recorded the compositions in Kampi Chapel, creating the album Runoja Rauhalle.

Ensemble: Adele Sauros (tenor and soprano saxophone), Joakim Berghäll (baritone saxophone, cello).

The Norwegian-French trio T.I.M. moves between folk music and improvisation, blending acoustic expression with homemade electronics. Their songs are built from a child's perspective, instinctive memories, or an old Inuit lullaby. Hungarian label BMC releases the trio's debut album Tall, Infinite, Microscopic in September 2026.

Ensemble: Karoline Wallace (vocals, tape), Inger Hannisdal Hardinger (violin, vocals), Sébastien Palis (piano, synthesizer, composition).

The tour is a co-production of Vapaat äänet and the Finnish Jazz Association. Supported by: AJC, CNV, Institut français.

Duration: 2 hours, including 20-minute intermission.
