'Fantastically Finnish' - The 19th season of the Mostly Nordic Chamber Music Series & Smörgåsbord takes a musical trip through the Nordic countries as you hear musicians who rarely perform in the United States. The concerts’ unique format begins with a 4:00 p.m. concert and is followed by a delicious dinner to match the country featured, along with a chance to mingle with the musicians and your fellow event-goers.
Direct descendent of Jean Sibelius, Ruusamari Teppo is an award-winning pianist (Bradshaw, Buono, and Petrof competitions), renowned on stages throughout Europe. Teppo is joined by cellist Jussi Makkonen, a concert artist on three continents and recording artist. Well-known as champions of Sibelius’s music, together they present Finnish works for cello and piano including a rare selection of pieces performed only by members of the Sibelius family!
