Finnish violinist Linda Hedlund and Italian harpist Floraleda Sacchi perform two concerts with a programme featuring Astor Piazzolla‘s unforgettable tangos as well as pieces by French composers such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
The concerts, which take place with the support of the Italian Cultural Institute of Helsinki, are held as part of the Emäsalo Music Festival on 24 July at the Emäsalo Chapel and on 25 July as part of the Koivu & Tähti festival at the Karjalohjan seurojentalo.
For more than ten years this charming duo has been performing with great success in Spain, Italy, Switzerland and France and is highly appreciated for the emotional charge of its interpretations and its performing mastery.
Musician, composer and producer, Floraleda Sacchi stands out in her original musical journey that combines acoustic harp with electronics, classical, minimal and pop music. Born in Como, she decided to play the harp inspired by Annie Challan‘s records. Floraleda embarked on a successful classical career that led her to win numerous awards including a Latin Grammy, playing at Carnegie Hall New York and major concert halls around the world.
Linda Hedlund studied violin at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna and received her doctorate in violin performance in 2010 from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. She performs as a soloist and chamber musician all over the world. She is also very active as a teacher and lecturer, has given numerous master classes in the USA, South America and Asia, and has taught chamber music.
