“Pulverising avalanche of dark, primeval, sonic theatre” – Sydney Morning Herald
Finnish accordion adventurist Kimmo Pohjonen’s singular mission is to expand the capabilities, sound, scope, performance and experience of the accordion to levels never before attempted, seen or heard. Accordion, voice, effects, surround sound and light show combine to make a unique and captivating performance event.
A visionary of boundless energy, Pohjonen’s roots go back 30 years in all forms of accordion music including folk, dance, classical, rock, experimental, theatre music and more. Pohjonen was nominated for BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2002 and again in 2005 for the BBC Radio 3 Planet Award. He was named Accordionist of the Year for 2000 and 2001 in Finnish Jazz magazine Jazz Rytmit.
Pohjonen’s riveting solo performance this year at the Mosaic Music Festival should not be missed!
