Live Music: Vilma Talvitie
(LITTLE VENICE)
October 18th 7.30pm
Puppet Theatre Barge • Little Venice
*THIS IS A LIVE MUSIC CONCERT, NOT A PUPPET SHOW*
Vilma Talvitie is a Finnish folk/ethno pop artist, singer-songwriter and performing artist, based in Helsinki and Istanbul. She builds bridges between folk, world and pop music, singing about dark topics with a bright voice, influenced by Finno-Ugric singing traditions.
Vilma lights up the stages as a one-woman-band around the world with her audio visually intriguing instrument PianoBodyPercussion - combining vocals, piano, body percussion, percussion, dance and drama elements. As a charismatic performer and trained music pedagogue, she takes the audience part of the show by making them sing, move and make body music as well.
In her songs, Vilma mixes Nordic and European folk stories and traditional melodies with her own dynamic compositions. In her fearless lyrics she grabs the shame by the horns and digs skeletons out of the closets, by not being afraid to express even the hardest emotions through her music.
After graduating as the Master of Music from Sibelius Academy, the University of the Arts, Helsinki in 2018, Vilma has been performing in more than 30 countries in Europe, Asia and Southern America.
Vilma is currently on the promotional tour of her first solo studio album Mistä mihin | Whereto, released in October 2023. Previously Vilma has released three albums with her folk pop band Valma & Varsinaiset (2012, 2015 and 2018).
