Niillas Holmberg & Pauli Lyytinen

This year, we get to enjoy performances in the auditorium. On Saturday, Sámi poet and musician Niillas Holmberg and Emma Award-winning saxophonist and composer Pauli Lyytinen will take the stage. Together, their sound tells stories of landscapes where the waterline rises and falls. Their musical world is built on channelling, improvisation and listening to one another. Holmberg and Lyytinen’s collaboration began in 2021, and they have performed at numerous events in Finland and abroad. Their first joint album, “Naarattu laulu”, was released in autumn 2025.
