Juhani Pitkänen ja Ilona Korhonen - Strength for a Reason, toipuvien nuorten huumeaddiktien treeniprojekti

On Thurs 28 Sept 2017, violinist Pekka Kuusisto joins Finnish folk singer, Ilona Korhonen, to present a unique, modern perspective on runo-song, an ancient storytelling tradition from Finland. The Philharmonia Orchestra’s Digital team travelled to Finland to get a preview of what to expect. Ilona sings a story about the origins of the kantele, a traditional Finnish stringed instrument often used to accompany runo-song. Lyrics: I was a slave in Estonia. I received only barley as my wage And took the barley to Sweden to sow. I did not stay to see how it grew, But after five or six weeks I returned. There was a deer in my field, which I took home and fed and cared for. I took its horns and took them to the blacksmith and asked him to make a kantele. He did. But the kantele was not finished. It was lacking one string.
