The Royal College of Music Chamber Choir will perform a selection of popular songs by composers from Finland and Estonia. At the heart of the programme are two pieces by Veljo Tormis, whose works are inspired by folk song traditions. His St John’s Day Song for Midsummer’s Eve and St Catherine’s Day Songs mark two significant dates in the Estonian calendar, the beginning of haymaking and the arrival of winter. The Finnish works are Rautavaara’s Lorca Suite and Sibelius’s Rakastava.

The concert will take place at 6.00pm in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall. The Royal College of Music is in Prince Consort Road, directly south from the Royal Albert Hall.

Tickets cost £8 or £5, but the RCM is pleased to offer members of The Anglo-Finnish Society the best available seats for £4. Quote ‘NORDIC OFFER’ when booking through the RCM Box Office on 020 7591 4314.
