Since 2007, with a lot of volunteer commitment and passion, Piano di Primo has been organizing jazz concerts that enable artists of national and international importance to introduce the audience to tried and tested musical specialties and novel ideas. They are organizing a few events per year in the half-timbered building (Allschwil Local History Museum) in the middle of the idyllic village center of Allschwil, where you can spoil yourself with selected wines, a cold beer, or non-alcoholic refreshments from the bar.
On this evening, the internationally well-known accordionist Maria Kalaniemi will be playing. The award-winning accordion artist and composer is known for her lyrical, sensitive, and intense playing style that has been aptly described as Finnish accordion fado. Kalaniemi rose to national fame by winning the Golden Accordion Competition in Ikaalinen. Since then, she has had an extensive international career and is considered a significant contemporary innovator of accordion music. Ever since Stefan Schwietert's award-winning documentary about the cult ensemble Accordion Tribe and her playing in one of their numerous, very different bands, she has also become a household name in this country. Maria Kalaniemi has been awarded both the State Prize for Music in Finland and membership of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. Her 40-year career and her 60th birthday are being honored with anniversary concerts throughout Europe.
Tickets are CHF 38.
