On March 12, the Sellosali concert hall in Espoo will be taken over by the Franco-Finnish duo of Kimmo Pohjonen and Eric Echampard. The concert will begin at 19:15, preceded by an artist meeting from 18:30 to 19:00 in the Sellosali café.
Accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and French drummer Eric Echampard gave their first duo concert in the spring of 2001. After years of collaboration, the duo has become a cohesive unit, relying on the power of improvisation to create their music live during the concert.
