In Concert – Live at Sibelius Hall is a collaboration album by Finnish soprano Tarja Turunen with musicians Kalevi Kiviniemi, Marzi Nyman and Markku Khron recorded at the Sibelius Hall, Finland and released on 25 November 2011.
Information[edit]
First plans of creating a classical group came out in 2006, when Tarja, Kalevi, Marzi and Markku made a concert together for the first time. They continued to present some concerts through Finland until they decided to formalize the group, by naming it Harus.[1] As Tarja explained:
"There is an old Finnish tradition when it comes to newborns – the baby is not to be named until the baptism ceremony, when he or she is presented to the family with the chosen name. A few years ago, in 2006, a new project was born and, following the same tradition, the time has come to baptize it, to make the presentations to the family and to give it a name – HARUS."[2]
The first video of the album was released on 20 October, from the track You Would Have Loved This,[3] but the official promotional video was released on 17 November, from the track Walking in the Air.[4]
