• Kristiina Valdman Quartet is a fresh ensemble that performs the singer's original work. The music of the quartet weaves influences from traditional jazz and Brazilian music along with the singer's life experiences. Her performance incorporates both lightness and deep emotionality, inspiration, playful interpretation of melodies, improvisation, and a varying vocal tone and timbre ranging from smoky lows to bright, ringing high notes.

Line-up: 
Kristiina Valdman – vocals
Hector Lepe – guitar
Tuomo Purhonen – double bass
Teemu Mustonen – drums
