Kimmo Pohjonen is one of the few artists who has managed to create his own genre with his compositions and original style of playing electro-acoustic accordion. Zone is Pohjonen’s new solo work, to be performed for the year 2024

“The central idea of my solo career has been to break the strong stereotypes associated with playing the accordion. Using a new playing technique, I play several harmonic and rhythmic layers with the accordion and the human voice at the same time live. Zone fulfills a vision I could not have dreamed of in my wildest dreams when I started playing 40 years ago.”
