 The
International Primus Ikaalinen Accordion Competition is already
known around the world, in its seventh year, through live
TV broadcasts. It is a uniquely composed accordion show /
competition, where young world class performers will become
known to Finnish television viewers, and through YLE Areena
and satellite channels, to the international audience.
The First Primus in 2005 was won by the Spanish Idoia Laburu
from the Basque Country. In the following years the winners’
list has been made by Dmitri Saussard, France, Julien Gonzales,
France, Mario D’Amario, Italy, Grayson Masefield, New
Zealand, and last summer, Pietro Adragna, Italy. Finnish musicians
have also been quite successful, the most successful being
Sami Hopponen, who came second with his memorable “duel”
with the French Julien Gonzales in the summer of 2007.
The Primus Ikaalinen contest has eight musicians from eight
countries. The competitors are selected during the previous
winter, from a number of other competitions and festivals,
as well as an open enrolment basis. The players will bring
to the Primus from their own country a dash of colour from
their own national music, which makes the event even more
interesting. Primus Ikaalinen is definitely one of the Sata-Häme
Soi Festival highlights, with its warm and happy international
atmosphere. At the Primus one can feel how the music connects
all people and language barriers are non-existent.

One of Russia’s most famous bands is the Terem Quartet
which celebrates its 25th anniversary, and makes a visit
to Ikaalinen to mark the anniversary. The Domra accordion
and the base balalaika are traditional Russian folk music
instruments and Terem has been a pioneer in a new way
to play these interpreters of Slavic moods. Breathtaking
virtuosity, astounding arrangements and a phenomenal ensemble
have made this quartet one of the most sought after bands
around the world.
The Terem Quartet has performed in over 60 countries and
played in almost 3000 concerts. The Quartet’s repertoire
includes more than 500 breathtaking arrangements of their
own, of classical pieces from different countries and
well-known composers. The Terem Quartet’s Ikaalinen
concert has a guest soloist, accordion player and singer
Jonna Pirttijoki. This concert is one of the main events
of the 2011 festival.
Terem Quartet players are:
Andrei Konstantinov (soprano domra)
Alexei Barshchev (alto domra)
Andrei Smirnov (accordion)
and Mikhail Dzyudze (base balalaika).
