Mika Väyrynen begins series of World Premieres - Finland

Paavali Jumppanen, Elina Vähälä, Aulis Sallinen, Jan-Erik Gustafsson, Mika Väyrynen
Aulis Sallinen & Mika VäyrynenMika Väyrynen performed the World Premiere of a new work by Aulis Sallinen 'Dance Music Suite Op. 107' for accordion, violin, cello and piano. The Premiere of the work which is dedicated to Mika Väyrynen, took place at The Porvoo Church as part of the Loviisa Sibelius Festival on 8th September with the composer in attendance.

Pictured from left to right are Paavali Jumppanen (piano), Elina Vähälä (violin), Aulis Sallinen, Jan-Erik Gustafsson (cello) and Mika Väyrynen (accordion). Mika is also pictured with Mr. Sallinen before the concert.

Within one month Mika Väyrynen will be performing the World Premieres of six new works. It is probably the only time that an accordionist will have undertaken this monumental accomplishment. The Aulis Sallinen World Premiere is the first out of the six premieres. The other five works will be premiered on 11th October at Mika´s 50th birthday concert "Finland 100 - Väyrynen 50" at The Camerata Hall of the Helsinki Music Center.

On that same evening Mika Väyrynen will release a new CD of Jouni Kaipainen´s (1956-2015) accordion works.
