About
As part of the Finnish Kaleva Hall's Spring Festival, Heikki Koskinen’s Northern Winds & Voices will present a matinee concert of music from their new album, “INSIDE / OUTSIDE – SISÄLLÄ / ULKONA”

NW&V brings together five musicians from many past projects and performances utilizing each musician’s unique sound in creating new sonic textures and ways to interpret these songs that are well known to the Finnish community. NW&V takes the listener on a musical ride through a wide variety of styles and approaches, from written arrangements to free flowing extemporaneous group improvisations. Instrumentations range from more conventional vocal, sax, piano & bass ensembles to blending a variety of ethnic and traditional flutes with Finnish kantele & birch bark horn and wordless vocalese....
