Hälve is a piece about evening mist clearing away and revealing a serene moment, before being once again surrounded by mysterious fog. 

Performed by Helsingin Poliisisoittokunta / Helsinki Police Symphonic Band in Musiikkitalo 09/2020. Directed by Ilkka Aunu, recorded by Matti Heinonen.

Hälve

Three songs about hope performed by Minna-Leena Lahti (soprano) and Mariola Aniolek (piano) in Musiikkitalo, Finland. The musical style of the songs is "between Debussy and early 20th century Finnish lied music with a new twist".
