2007

In 2007, Tamara Bernstein wrote after a concert in Toronto in a review in “globeandmail.com”: “Finland’s Ritva Koistinen gave magical performances of music by Rehnqvist and Pekka Jalkanen on the Finnish Kantele – a small Psaltery that in Koistinen’s hands conjured pure enchantment, from top notes that glittered like cold starlight to bass notes that throbbed with the pulse of an ancient forest.”

Among the most notable recent collaborations is the one with Kronos Quartet that led to the concerts in Scotland and the USA.
