Finntasia

Finntasia began as a traditional choir and continues to sing traditional and contemporary Finnish music in concert.

Recently we have added drama  and dance for a theatrical touch.

We are affiliated with the Edmonton Finnish Society.                   

             Scriptwriting and song translations are handled by director Ulla Jordan.

Jaana Ohinmaa serves as our dancing instructor par excellence and contributes musically and creatively.

Leena Vanhala brings a wealth of acting and concert experience.  She heads the talented alto section, which also features Hanna, Jaana, Penny, and Tuula,.                                                         

Ritva Haikarainen shows the way as lead soprano, alongside Britta, Sirkka, Irja, Rita, Carolina and Riikka.   In addition, we are fortunate to have the      contributions of our sound man, Kauko. 

 Coffee and cake at rehearsals make for good conversation about music, Finland,                              and all sorts of things.                                                                         

    Ja hyvin juttu suomeksikin sujuu kahvipoydässä!

 We welcome all friends of Finnish music and culture.    Currently there is no membership fee.

Here we are at the Edmonton Heritage Festival, August 2007, where we performed a program of traditional and contemporary Finnish songs at the Scandinavian Pavilion. 

Welcome to our next show!

Tervetuloa!
