In addition to next summer’s theme, Vaskiviikko has published its first concert, which fulfills the wishes of the audience.

The theme of Lieksa Copper Week next summer offers hope.

According to Harjante, they want to offer these feelings with music while the war in Ukraine is still going on.

Related to the theme, Vaskiviiko’s first concert has also been published.

At the end of July, the most beautiful hymns and hymns are played in Lieksa church. At least the old hymn from Taalainmaa, Suojelusenkeli and Narva’s march are playing on Vaski.

The program consists of the wishes of the audience, and Jouko Harjanne is responsible for the music together with other artists of Vaskivikio.

More concerts will be announced later in December. Lieksa’s Copper Week will take place on July 21–28, 2023.
