Finnish Accordionist Mika Väyrynen Concerts, Tampere & Lahti - Finlandby Kevin Friedrich |
 Finnish accordionist Mika Väyrynen will perform at one of Finland's newest performance venues, the Kangasala Hall in the Kangasala Arts Center, near Tampere, Thursday February 25th at 7pm. The featured work of this concert will be Mika Väyrynen's arrangement of the complete ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’, by Modest Mussorgsky. In addition, his program will include works by Ravel, Shurbin, Sallinen, Galynin, Väyrynen, Pihlajamaa, and Saint-Saens/Horowitz. On Wednesday March 2nd at 7pm, Mika will again perform the complete ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’, this time at the Church of The Cross in Lahti, Finland, the venue for Mika's first solo recording 25 years ago. At this major concert event, Mika's performance will be in conjunction with some of the world's leading organists including Vincent Dubois (France), who was recently chosen as organist for what is considered one of the premiere positions, organist at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Mr. Kalevi Kiviniemi (renowned organist with over 100 recordings to his credit and featured in concerts around the globe), and organ phenomenon Mr. Petur Sakari. Mika Väyrynen is one of the foremost accordion artists of today, performing as a soloist, with chamber ensembles and symphony orchestras throughout the world. In addition to his teaching at the famed Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, he also travels extensively presenting master classes, seminars and workshops at major conservatories, music schools and festivals in many countries. As an artist, his repertoire is exceptionally broad, including contemporary accordion music, transcriptions from various periods, new tango, concertos and chamber music.
