Finnish accordionist and symphonic conductor Jukka-Pekka Kuusela (former student of Friedrich Lips) performed a concert at the Kuhmo Chapel in Finland with accordionist, organist and composer Kalle Välimaa (also former student of Lips) on May 13th, 2023. Their program included seven movements of Mass B minor by J.S. Bach, compiled by Kalle Välimaa. Kuusela played on concert accordion and Välimaa played organ. The successful performance received long applause by the enthusiastic audience. The following day (May 14th), the accordion class of the Kuhmo Music Institute (led by Jukka-Pekka Kuusela) and the kantele class from the same Institute (led by Elisa Kerola), played a joint concert in honor of Mother's Day at the famous Grand Hall (Lentuas-sali) of Kuhmo Arts Centre. This concert was the culmination of the ensemble playing course which was directed by famous Finnish accordionist, unique teacher and composer Kalle Välimaa. Their program included well-known and interesting lesser known solo and ensemble pieces, partly composed by Välimaa. There were also two world premieres: 1. “Landscape” (for accordion and kantele ensemble with piano) conducted by Jukka-Pekka Kuusela 2. “Tripmusic” (for accordion quartet and piano) The event was directed jointly by Jukka-Pekka Kuusela with the Principal of the Kuhmo Music Institute Ms Elisa Kerola.
