Sudenmorsiamet – Open Stage

Sudenmorsiamet is a Finnish-Ingrian folk singing group with roots in the rich and diverse Eastern Finnish tradition of the historical Ingria region.

The band was born when childhood friends reunited after a long time – a moment where a common thread was immediately found, leading to a deeper connection through music and heritage.

The Sudenmorsiamet catalogue consists of material from layers of different centuries. The band searches for texts and melodies that have been forgotten in archives and song and poetry collections, explores their backgrounds and brings them to life through their own compositions and arrangements. At the same time, they create new music: songs based on family memories and stories, describing the everyday lives and experiences of ancestral figures.

Finnish-Ingrian folklore has been largely overshadowed by history, and many people are no longer familiar with its rich heritage. Sudenmorsiamet is actively working to preserve and revitalise this heritage through concerts, workshops and recordings. Their aim is to bring at least part of this beautiful cultural heritage back into the public consciousness – and give it a new, living future.
