Yesterday cellist Markus Hohti was pianist Sid Hille’s guest in our Two Moons concert series.
This was not a first encounter as the Hille-Hohti Eclectic duo has performed in concerts for many years, albeit the band has been on a hiatus recently.
It was wonderful to get back into the swing of things with a mixed set of ‘Eclectic’ material and Sid’s new EPIC I-IV composition.
The video will be posted on this page within a couple of days. Sit tight!

In tomorrow's third Two Moons concert of this fall 2023, pianist Sid Hille will be joined by organ virtuoso Susanne Kujala, one of Finland's most renowned organists of this day.
The two musicians will improvise together, as is the spirit of this concert series, but Susanne will also perform a few solo pieces: 'Five Miniatures for Organ' by Sid Hille and 'Ode to the Whales' by Teppo Hauta-aho.
Welcome to listen live in Temppeliaukio Church at 2.30pm , tomorrow on Friday Sept 22nd, 2023.

Due to the low data internet connection in the church, we don't live-stream the concerts anymore, but video-record them instead.
In this way, we are able to provide higher visual quality to go along with the unique musical performances, when we put the videos up on this page with a slight delay.
Video is good, LIVE is better. Join us there, if you can!
