MMK - GMC Sessions: Widenius, Murtola & Mugu

The second volume of Joonas Widenius's flamenco guitar textbook series was released in early 2026. The first volume, published by the World Music Centre, has circulated worldwide and received praise; the second volume deepens students' knowledge further.

The event presents the textbook material through interview, guitar performance, singing, and dance. Alongside Widenius, vocalist Anna Murtola performs, and guest dancer Ingrid Mugu from Madrid joins the programme. The interviewer is Robert Conaway-Bothwell from Itäkeskus Library.

The event is part of GMC Sessions - a lecture and concert series produced by Helsinki City Library and the World Music Centre - a music institute that showcases world music traditions. The event is typically conducted in Finnish and/or English.

In collaboration with Compañía Kaari & Roni Martin.
