The Little Sparrow, Édith Piaf, interpreted chanson songs in a way that told of a turbulent life full of heartbreak. French singer Valérie Gabail is a brilliant contemporary vocalist whose lyrical soprano voice is suited to a wide range of music, from baroque to cabaret. Timo Hietala’s crème de la crème arrangements take the concert audience on a journey to the music salons of Montparnasse in Paris and the golden age of chanson. The concert is conducted by Eero Lehtimäki.

Bad Christmas! Hosted by Antti Holma, the evening features brand‑new compositions to poems by, among others, Reino Leino and Sirsi Sunnas. To make sure the evening is not entirely terrible, the composers represent the very top tier in Finland – not to mention the singers.
