About the event
The program by Susanne and Veli Kujala is built around Lotta Wennäkoski's lovely work Amorti.
It is framed by two solo works, one for accordion and one for organ, by the successful American composer Nico Muhly.
JS Bach's music was as important a source of inspiration for Astor Piazzolla as tango.
Suite Punta del Este for bandoneon and orchestra will be heard in the concert arranged for accordion and organ.
