Sofia Finnilä Trio: Lassen vanavedessä (In Lasse's wake) – Sofia Finnilä Trio plays Lasse Mårtenson

This year, Lasse Mårtenson would have turned 90. We are celebrating his unforgettable music with a new concert series.

The Lassen vanavedessä combo is tailored just for this concert series. All of its members have played together in different ensembles and have known each other for a long time. Their most recent joint production was a dramatized concert "Vie meren tuoksuun" at Pori Theatre in 2021–2023. It, too, was based on the melodies of Lasse Mårtenson, and when the performance season ended, the idea arose to go on a tour of the archipelago and concert halls, performing Lasse's music.

Sofia Finnilä is a respected jazz singer. She won the Lady Summertime Singing Competition in 1999, and graduated from the Sibelius Academy Department of Music Education. She has collaborated a great deal with various jazz musicians both in Finland and abroad. In addition to her own group, the Sofia Finnilä Septet, she has worked as a soloist for UMO and the Lasse Mårtenson trio.
