Our popular Summer Jazz Series returns to Scandinavia House, with live performances in Volvo Hall! This summer we’re presenting performances from some of Scandinavia’s most talented jazz musicians, composers, and singers on Thursday evenings in June and July.

The series begins on June 24 with Eeppi Ursin Duo, featuring Eeppi Ursin on vocals & piano and ASF Fellow Olli Hirvonen on guitar.
