- Ume Sámi singer-songwriter Katarina Barruk captivated the audience at Helsinki’s Huvila tent.
- The Lapland Chamber Orchestra and conductor John Storgårds performed alongside Sámi writer-musician Niillas Holmberg and Barruk.
- The concert review describes the evening as enjoyable and unexpectedly therapeutic.
Katarina Barruk, singing in Ume Sámi, swept the entire Huvila tent along with her. The Lapland Chamber Orchestra followed the waves of joik and the wild movement of the dance with such ease that the audience also found the experience liberating.
On Monday evening, the tent took on something of a goahti atmosphere as the orchestra and conductor John Storgårds were joined by Northern Sámi writer and musician Niillas Holmberg and Ume Sámi singer-songwriter Barruk.
The concert was a pleasure, with a little therapy included free of charge.
