The Weighted Keys is an unforeseen collaboration of four unique musicians, born from a spontaneous improvised concert at the Floating Castle festival in Slovenia in the summer of 2025. The ensemble consists of Devina Boughton (US/FI) and Davide Stefani (IT) on trumpet, Vilma Talvitie (FI) on piano, and Karoliine-Lisette Kõiv (EE) on violin.
The musicians’ collaboration interweaves organic improvisation on acoustic instruments, alternating with melodic fragments from global folk music and jazz music. In addition to everything auditory, The Weighted Keys also experiments with movement, theatrical elements, and poetry on stage. Through the shifting of the stage space, the ensemble explores various dualities such as free improv vs. structure, the dark night of the soul vs. the comic-jovial carnival, whether to play or take a break. In December 2025, they will make their official debut tour, performing 2 concerts in Finland and 2 in Estonia.
These 4 concerts in the North are:
17/12 Vapaan Taiteen Tila, Helsinki, Finland
18/12 Ö-talo, Riihimäki, Finland
19/12 Kirjanike maja, Tartu, Estonia
20/12 Theatrumi kohvik Ait, Tallinn, Estonia

“I praise thy from the strings on the wood: prayers from the distracted mind” is a joint repertoire concert between Kristīne Tukre and Nea Wunsch. They invite you to enjoy the moment through different kanteles and kokles in this hectic and distracting world.
Through practice one can find peace, through relentless repetition from day to day hope is born. One day the prayers must come to life. In a form of an ongoing practice we find a peace of mind.
Works by J. S. Bach, S. L. Weiss, Hannu Saha, Juhani Nuorvala, Pekka Jalkanen and Martti Pokela.
Kristīne Tukre
@kristine.tukre
Kristīne Tukre is a concert kokle player from Latvia currently completing her Master’s degree at the Sibelius Academy majoring in classical kantele performance. In her musical practice she explores early music repertoire and its compatibility to the instrument that is deeply rooted in folk music tradition. Additionally, a big part of her musical practice includes contemporary music, improvisation and exploratory experimentation in performance and sound art. Her main interests are to listen and experience sounds and music, sometimes attempting to create it.
Nea Wunsch
@radikaalinunna
Kantele player Nea Wunsch’s music focuses on dialogue between technology and humanity, trying out new things and playing with other people. At the core is also shaping the sound through physical sonic waves but also through ones and zeros. Like many other kantele players, Wunsch is fluent in different genres – whether it is contemporary, club, folk, classical or bubble gum pop music. Through her studies, Wunsch has gotten the opportunity to premier multiple works for kantele and to specialize in electric kantele.
Ilona Hauru
@litsuhauru
Ilona Hauru is a first-year Bachelor student of classical kantele performance at the Sibelius Academy. Growing up in a family of versatile musicians, she developed a wide musical curiosity that continues to shape her artistry. While she explores the technique and evolving sound world of the modern concert kantele, her music-making is ultimately driven by the wish to move and inspire listeners. Entering her Bachelor studies, she aims to refine her multi-genre musicianship and seek the artistic directions that feel most authentic. As the concert kantele is still a young instrument, she is inspired by the chance to help shape its future.
