For most people paradise is an illusion, a condition we can search for in our inner self as an answer to our unattainable dream to be in the garden of Eden. Maybe therefore the religions tells us about this as a place we either have left or a place we will arrive at in our next life.
The Chamber Orchestra will create their own little Paradise this night by luring out the paradise within the nature as they find it within the musical descriptions of Vivaldi, Grieg and Tarrodi.
Pekka Kuusisto have brought his finnish colleague and composer Milla Viljamaa - knwon as a known both as a folk musician, chamber musician and as a master of Finnish tango - to join in this night.
Here everything will be connected in a seamless musical story, but where the folk music is the red thread guiding us through the dream about the perfect place.
