Ollibull Anikari has been my dear friend through countless Finnish seasons. Together, we’ve performed across southern Finland, weaving our voices into a tapestry of two languages—his Finnish verses dancing with my French lines.
Our shared stage is alive with the buzz of mouth harps and endless conversation, a dialogue that spills from music into laughter and back again.
Kalinka stands as one of Finland’s rare orchestras dedicated to Slavic music. Our performances radiate joy, and our repertoire spans a vibrant tapestry of classical Russian, Ukrainian, Finnish and French songs.
In Helsinki, our Christmas and themed concerts have become beloved traditions, eagerly anticipated by audiences year after year.
Lucky is a talented jazz pianist and singer. In 2023, we created a challenging program featuring classic French chansons from the 1940s-70s.
Together we perform works by all the greats - Piaf, Gréco, Brel, Aznavour, Trenet, Montand, and many more. Our performances bring these timeless songs to life with authenticity and passion.
You'll often find me at Helsinki's Irish jam sessions, especially on Sundays—mandolin or mandola in hand, weaving melodies alongside fellow musicians.
There's magic in these gatherings: reels, laughter, and the occasional well-earned drink between sets.
