Folk music in the University of Arts: The Joy of It!
Anna Whiteford’s performance examination.
Exchange student Anna’s concert is a celebration of her time spent within Sibelius’ folk department.
Hailing from Scotland, where she studies Traditional Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Anna has spent the last five months at Sibelius Academy, immersing herself in the music, song, and dance traditions of Finland. With a deep interest in both Nordic and Celtic folk music, Anna has sought connection between the two traditions, weaving together arrangements of Finnish folk tunes with the Celtic influences of her background resulting in a rich intertwined musical tapestry.
Performers
- Anna Whiteford, accordion
