From October 16th to November 4th pianist, composer and improviser Andy Emler invites his listeners in Estonia, Latvia and Finland to a dreamlike immersion in his own solo fantasia on Maurice Ravel. Bassist Claude Tchamitchian and drummer Eric Echampard will join on the last week of the tour, to perform a few concerts with the lyrical and acclaimed Andy Emler Trio. This Baltic Odyssey will reach its peak in a burst of Franco-Finnish musical delights on November 1st and 3rd in Helsinki and Espoo. On these dates Mikko Innanen and a good crowd of his fellow leading musicians will join forces with the Gallic trio to celebrate twenty years of Vapaat äänet’s tours.
