Presented by Small World Music Join us for an unforgettable evening of Finnish-Baltic folk grooves, with Honeypaw! In this concert, Honeypaw will be presenting material from wax cylinders recorded by the folklorist A.R.Niemi, who travelled to several villages in Lithuania over one hundred years ago to collect archaic songs. His plan was to conduct comparative studies of Finnic and Baltic texts, however he realized that he first had to collect the very first printed examples of Lithuanian polyphonic songs, or sutartines. During a trip to Finland in May 2023, Honeypaw visited the archives of the Finnish Literature Society and obtained copies of the unpublished wax cylinder recordings made by Niemi. Their October tour of Lithuania included shows in Nemunėlio Radviliškis, Valkininkai and Marcinkonys, where the material was recorded. This show is the project finale, where they will share their adventures and favourite tunes. This project is supported by the Lithuanian Council for Culture. Honeypaw is the Toronto-based experimental folk duo of Jurgita Zvinklyte and Matti Palonen, formed after Jurgita moved to Canada in 2019. Since then, they have been performing traditional songs in Lithuanian, Finnish, and Karelian in Canada and Europe. They play traditional instruments including kantele, jouhikko, and skudučiai, blending them with modern soundscapes and rhythms. Doors open 7:30 PM. Door tickets are $25. The 2024 Small World Music Series is sponsored by TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment and funded by the Government of Canada, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council.
