The women\u2019s choir Sisaruet (Sisters)<\/em> was founded in Joensuu in January 2015. (The picture above: Johanna Turunen, Arkijumalattaret <\/em>(Everyday Goddesses<\/em>), Spring 2017, the paintings also by Johanna Turunen) The choir is led by MMus Tellu Turkka, composer – musician \u2013 pedagogue, who has a long career in choral music both as a composer and as an educator.<\/p>\n

Many kinds of talents manifest in this choir. The traditional formation of a choir is rare to us. Costumes are different in every performance. Most often we construct a moving piece together based on a theme in question. We have had modern choir music based on folk music, old hits and ballads in our repertoire. Sometimes we perform with a band, sometimes without. In addition to singing, we play drums, recorders or whatever the show needs. The central theme of the songs here is a woman\u2019s life and all its colorful stages viewed from several perspectives, often eyes glistening with tears, sometimes a tear of sorrow, another of joy. Performances done by now:<\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0 Pyjamakiertue \/ A Tour in Pyjamas<\/em> (lullabies for old people\u2019s houses)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0 Kuu paistaa \/ The Moon Is Shining<\/em> (at Art Museum Onni in November 2015, Kalmokuoro (Choir Corpse) sang ghost stories led by Mama Kaber)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0 Arkijumalattaret \/ Everyday Goddesses <\/em>(at Art Center Ahjo in May 2017, Johanna Westersund\u2019s Arkijumalattaret (Everyday Goddesses) + other songs)<\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0 Tuhmien laulujen tuokio \/ Moment of Naughty Songs<\/em> (at Art Museum Onni at The Night of the Arts 2017 led by Herr Doctor Ernst Woipio, and of course this concert of naughty songs is performed in a strict formation wearing gowns that hide plastic recorders in their sleeves\u2026)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– \u00a0 \u00a0 Luurankonainen \/ Skeleton Woman<\/em> \u2013 dark stories of love (together with the Theatre V\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4py\u00f6r\u00e4 and Hiien Hurtta Ensemble at Pakkahuone) In the picture below you can see a rehearsal session of drumming. The sorrow from the sad and unjust stories on the A-side was collectively cried along Satu Niskanen\u2019s lament, funeral march turning into a heated polska that ended with a cathartic drumming. The B-side was about love stories from both divine and profane perspectives. Couple of gods visited in order to rock Iris Brocke to a wine festival of gods. This concert was the first time I experimented with a choir as a mobile coulisse into which pictures were projected.<\/p>\n
