KAJ CHYDENIUS FAVOURITES

Conductor: Thomas Djupsjöbacka
Vocalists: Jussi Chydenius and Oona Airola

We remember Kaj Chydenius, a much-loved Finnish composer, with a concert of
evergreens arranged for a larger orchestra. His singer son Jussi has curated a concert of personal favourites from his father’s extensive repertoire spanning seven decades. Alongside classics familiar to most Finns are some songs less often heard. Joining him will be award-winning actress-singer Oona Airola, who collaborated with father Chydenius for many years. Comping them will be an ensemble of top Finnish musicians including Jussi’s brother Kalle, and conducting them all will be Tomas Djupsjöbacka.
