Kerranpa lempeen taipuu sydän tuo kylmäkin… (Even a cold heart will bend for love) POSTPONED UNTIL LATER

“During the war, Finland would have been reduced to a hopeless pit. The Valtonen sisters have given this country so much hope and energy.” George de Godzinsky

RetroSisters – Heli Närhi, Katriina Kerppola and Sirpa Nuuttila – perform beloved war-time pieces by the Harmony Sisters at Villa Hakasalmi. Historian Maarit Niiniluoto, who specialises in Finnish entertainment, provides background for the songs and sets the scene for the complicated atmosphere of the times. Jussi Miilunpalo on piano.
