PÄIVI HIRVONEN TRIO ON OCTOBER 29 AT STIFT ASBECK IN LEGDEN
Unmistakable singing on the violin
A strong, deep voice, a traditional violin and a magical lyre played with a bow. Päivi Hirvonen's second solo album "Kallio" presents her as a creative musician and composer. On stage at the Münsterland Festival in the Dormitorium at Asbeck Abbey, Päivi Hirvonen will be accompanied by Tero Pajunen and Mirva Ormin - a sensational trio of three singing violinists.
Finnish folk music artist Päivi Hirvonen is a pioneer of simultaneous violin playing and singing. The music is rooted in the eastern and western traditions of Finland and inspired by film and pop music. Hirvonen's use of Finno-Ugric vocal techniques gives the songs their unmistakable tone, while the hypnotic and archaic sound of the bowed lyre and the special violin lays the foundation.
In cooperation with the Heimatverein Asbeck.

Asbeck Abbey is linked to 800 years of monastery and convent history in Westmünsterland: Originating in the 12th century as an imposing double monastery, it was converted into a convent for ladies in the 16th century. The two-storey cloister and the dormitory are particularly worth seeing: here you will find one of the few examples of Romanesque secular architecture in north-west Germany and the Asbeck Abbey Museum.
