Ilona Korhonen Ensemble

Piot [Feast] features a joyous banquet, based on texts from folk poetry of Finnic-Baltic peoples. The work is a feast in itself, specifically a feast for female voices.

Ilona Korhonen is a multi-talented musician specialising in folk music. Here, she has composed and arranged a work for women’s voices showcasing the vocal practices and folk poetry of Finnic peoples in the Baltic region to demonstrate the earth-shattering power of this vocal tradition. All the singers in the ensemble are professional musicians, folk singers and holders of master’s degrees and doctorates.
