Independence Day Concert at Angelicum Hall
Dec 6, 2025 | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Ritarikatu 3 B A 4, 00170 Helsinki
One of Finland’s and Europe’s leading pianists, Risto Lauriala, will perform together with opera singer, mezzo-soprano Laura Mäkitalo, in the atmospheric Angelicum Hall.
The program features gems of Finnish art music — including works by Jean Sibelius, Toivo Kuula, Oskar Merikanto, Einojuhani Rautavaara, and Matti Rautio.
The concert will also include Kalervo Hämäläinen’s moving piece Veteraanin iltahuuto (The Veteran’s Evening Call).
Mäkitalo (a finalist in both the Merikanto Singing Competition and the Pentti Koskimies Lied Competition) and Lauriala will perform both together and in Lauriala’s solo piano numbers.
