The duo Maja Mannila & Johannes Granroth will perform on the Finnish Jazz Federation’s pilot tour, giving not only public evening concerts but also performances in schools and care homes. The tour, which focuses on the Swedish-speaking regions of Finland (Svenskfinland), will include visits to Turku, Nauvo, Korpo, Kirkkonummi, and Pietarsaari.

The internationally noted singer-pianist Maja Mannila and guitarist-bassist Johannes Granroth perform their own compositions as well as their favorite songs – ranging from pop to folk music – in their own distinctive style, where one can find shades of R’n’B and jazz. The duo offers an intimate concert experience, highlighted by playful improvisation and soulful expression.

Both musicians are active members of Granroth’s band Peela as well as Mannila’s trio, which has already performed in Japan, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

“Mannila’s deep, honeyed voice is among the very best this country has to offer. Her use of the voice is natural and effortless, with virtuosity that is truly world-class.” 
– Aleksi Näsänen, Turun Sanomat, March 4, 2023
