Folk music from the Uniarts Helsinki: Nordic Reflections
Maimu Jõgeda’s compositions that have been composed in the style of folk music from different countries.
Maimu Jõgeda is an Estonian accordionist lighting up the world with her unique and reflective style of playing. Her studies at the Royal College of Music in Sweden, Danish National Academy of Music, Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, and University of Bergen, Ole Bull Academy as part of the Nordic Master in folk music programme conclude with a Master’s concert at Musiikkitalo on 24th of May.
Through exploring folk music from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway Maimu learned about musical traditions from these places and was immersed into the folk music communities in the Nordics. By learning about music that has survived the hardship of times, Maimu has found inspiration and purpose for creating. This concert includes Jõgeda’s own compositions that have been composed in the style of folk music from countries visited during her studies, as well as traditional tunes from Estonia that have travelled further from the mainland and still connect the travellers to their homeland. Nordic Reflections is a concert that takes us on a journey to the Nordics through the reflection of an Estonian accordionist.
