  • The Spotlight on Creator evenings continue!

    In the autumn spotlight, the author evenings will feature the strong voices and personalities of Finnish music. The guests will be Matti Johannes Koivu (23.9.2926 at 18 pm) and Liisa Akimof (20.10.2026 at 18 pm). The evening will be hosted by Anssi Känsälä, who will lead the audience directly into the artists' lives, thoughts and soul landscapes. The author evenings do not stop at just scratching the surface, but now talk about stories, meanings and sources of creativity, without forgetting music of course.

    The following will take to the stage of the nostalgic Kino Sampo (Suokatu 9, Riihimäki):
    Matti Johannes Koivu Wed 23.9.26 at 18 pm
    Liisa Akimof Tue 20.10.26 at 18 pm
    Tickets 15 euros + service fee. Tickets on sale here.

    In the spotlight by Matti Johannes Koivu
    Matti Johannes Koivu is firmly among the strongest singer-songwriters in our country. He is known as an artist who does not hesitate to bring his emotions to music. Koivu is one of the most distinctive and respected figures in the Finnish singer-songwriter tradition. His music combines sensitive storytelling, strong melodies and poetic expression, where everyday observations grow into timeless stories.

    In the spotlight by -Liisa Akimof
    Liisa Akimof is an exceptional figure in Finnish music, with a career spanning over four decades as a singer-songwriter, composer, lyricist and producer. She rose to prominence in the early 1980s as a founding member of the band Tavaramarkkinat and the author of the band's iconic song "Kevät". Since then, Akimof has purposefully followed her own artistic path, releasing solo albums under her own name and building a distinctive career that has remained centered on musical curiosity and freedom of expression.
    Akimof's songs are recognizable by their strong melodies, intelligent lyrics and personal way of looking at the world. His music combines the energy of rock, the infectiousness of pop and the narrative of the songwriting tradition, but above all his uncompromising voice. His production moves naturally between seriousness and lightness, social observation and everyday humor.
