The Musiikkitalo organ invites listeners to a Christmas banquet featuring a buffet of Johann Sebastian Bach, with a side of his colleagues George Friderick Handel and Tomaso Albinoni.
Organ solos and improvisations bring light to the winter darkness. Soprano arias proclaim the joyous tidings of Christmas, a brilliant trumpet soars above all. And what would Christmas be without a singalong? The entire audience is welcome to join in as we sing familiar Christmas carols.
The organ is played in turn by Pauliina Hyry, organist of Leppävaara parish, and Christian Ahlskog, Lecturer in Organ at the Oulu Conservatory. Trumpet solos are provided by Pasi Pirinen, Professor of Brass Performance at the Sibelius Academy, and seasonal arias are sung by Johanna Isokoski.
