This is Finland: Silva Kallionpää Quartet at Ilmiö Festival, Turku

SILVA KALLIONPÄÄ QUARTET is a Helsinki-based jazz group founded in 2017. This quartet is not afraid to test its limits. The band's unique collective sound and formula-breaking expression touches and challenges listeners, regardless of their background. The ensemble's compositions draw on contemporary jazz but sometimes end up on undefined paths. The band's music tells stories that create new nuances with each performance.
“STRETCHING TIME” is a piece inspired by the feeling of time passing faster or slower depending on what’s going on. It feels like with art and music it’s possible to manipulate time, since they sometimes have such a powerful impact on us. The composition was released on Silva Kallionpää Quartet’s album Unadaptable (Eclipse Music, 2022).

ILMIÖ FESTIVAL is an alternative music and art festival in Turku that each year presents a diverse range of contemporary music and current cultural phenomena. This unruly city festival refuses to stand still, taking on a variety of settings over the past 14 years, from a seaside dance stage to the historic shipyard area and the courtyards of Turku's Old Town. Ilmiö’s programme presents the gems of Finnish alternative music and underground art, regardless of genre, alongside international artists. With the atmosphere of a backyard party, the festival encourages you to stray off the beaten path and open-mindedly consider the new.
TAITEEN TALO is an arts centre situated in the former Rettig tobacco factory in Turku's Old Town. In the spring of 2022, it opened as a home for art and culture for artists, local residents, and tourists alike. Taiteen talo works in cooperation with cultural operators, creative economy companies, commercial firms and universities.
