The arrangements are by Milla Viljamaa, Timo Alakotila and Juha Kujanpää.
The concert takes listeners on an adventure through the world of animal-themed songs, as the EVA Trio’s Essi Wuorela, Vesa Norilo, and Anna-Karin Korhonen perform fresh arrangements of children’s classics such as Oravan pesä, Hopoti hoi and Peipon pesä, together with two child soloists, Peppi the butterfly and Iida the squirrel. The 12-piece Tapiola Sinfonietta ensemble will also be on stage.
The concert lasts about 45 minutes and is suitable for all ages. There will be singing, games, and nostalgia for the whole family.
