FILM FAVOURITES

Evergreens from the world of film tonight get a wonderful hearing in arrangements by Kotka’s own son, composer-jazz trombonist Antti Rissanen ranging from American classics to Finnish film tunes. Conjuring up a Hollywood show atmosphere are radiant actor-vocalists Anna-Maija Tuokko and Mikko Leppilampi. Their no-holds-barred interpretations and fantastic orchestral arrangements will fly you straight to some of the most memorable scenes, from New York to idyllic romantic love in the footsteps of such legends as Marilyn Monroe, Elton John and Frank Sinatra.
