Ikaalinen has many beautiful accordions in their Accordion Museum,
and this concert enabled some of them to be heard as the various artists
performed period music from Finnish composers on the instruments.
In addition to the performances, a histor of each instrument was given. |

Pihlajamaa pictured with the Sata-Häme
Soi Accordion Festival founder
Heikki Eränen (right) and his wife Tuula.
NB: In the early 1970's Heikki Eränen twice organized
a local concert in Ikaalinen, where amateur accordionists
from Ikaalinen played. Heikki asked Lasse Pihlajamaa to come
from Helsinki to play there as well. Lasse was very busy with
his business and his teaching institute but Heikki Eränen
managed to get him to Ikaalinen, because he originated from
the Jämijärvi area (close by) and had many old friends
and other people that would like to see him back in the area
performing again. Lasse came and played in the concert with
a great success, and after that Eränen and Pihlajamaa
decided to found the Sata-Häme Soi Accordion Festival.
The first festival was next year, in June 1972. (Heikki
Eränen continues to live in the very center of Ikaalinen.)
