jaZZanti concert: Aki Rissanen - Steven Kamperman Duo & Selma Savolainen

Monday 14. April at 19:00 - 20:30

Hakasalmen huvila, Helsinki

THOU SHALT worship the rich and famous
10+1 Commandments of our time

The whole project is about a clash between tradition and modernity. It has an ironic/humorous touch, but the music is definitely sincere!

The trio met in Paris in the spring of 2023 and quickly found a shared musical language through improvisation during a concert at the Cité Des Arts auditorium in the heart of Paris. The duo Rissanen - Kamperman decided to record the music for an album, which will be released by Eclipse Music in the spring of 2025.

In this project, together with singer Selma Savolainen, we reinterpret the Ten Commandments of the Bible in our own versions, critically reflecting on contemporary society. The music moves between composition and improvisation and does not shy away from humour at times. After all, how else could one respond to the state of the world today?

Aki Rissanen: piano
Steven Kamperman (NL): clarinets
Selma Savolainen: vocals

The concert is supported by City of Helsinki, Svenska Kulturfonden and The Finnish Music Foundation.
