Experience Susanne Kujala live on July 16th

Susanne Kujala will perform at Kuhmo Church in Kuhmo, Finland on July 16, 2026. Kujala is a Finnish composer and accordionist known for her distinctive musical style that blends contemporary classical music with elements of Finnish folk music and improvisation. Her compositions often feature atmospheric soundscapes and explore the expressive capabilities of the accordion beyond traditional genres, incorporating extended techniques and electronic processing. She frequently draws inspiration from Finnish nature and mythology.

Kuhmo Church, constructed of wood, dates back to 1934, though its history as a place of worship extends much further. The current building replaced an earlier church that was destroyed by fire. Designed by architect Hugo Saarinen, it exemplifies a national romantic style prevalent in Finnish architecture during the early 20th century. The church is noted for its acoustics which are well-suited for vocal and instrumental performances. It serves as a central landmark within the town of Kuhmo and plays an important role in local community life, hosting regular services and cultural events. The interior features artwork by prominent Finnish artists, contributing to its cultural significance.
