Crossing Borders is a spectacular train journey that will undoubtedly amaze you. Hold on tight! Whoever decides to come on board with us will encounter music and musicians from different cultures, and together we will cross entire continents and reach distant destinations in a way that only music can bring closer so easily. The boundaries of musical genres will be overcome, continuously moving from classical to jazz and folk until they blend together in the best of contaminations. The strings, piano, trombone and percussion will be your guides on this journey with stops in Ukraine, Germany, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, and Costa Rica…all with a pinch of Finnish “Sisu” in the backpack, to use if necessary! Welcome!
