During her studies at Karlsruhe University in the year 2002, Tarja Turunen decided to perform scandinavian songs for latin american audiences, because componists like Sibelius or Grieg weren’t to well known to them.

–

She talked to two of her friends, Marjut Paavilainen (Finnish Mezzo-Soprano) and Ingvild Storhaug (Norwegian Mezzo-
Soprano), and they agreed on preparing a small tour through South America. Finally they also won the support of Japanese pianist Izumi Kawakatsu. They named the tour Noche Escandinavia, which is Spanish for “Scandinavian night” and they performed songs of Scandinavian, German and Austrian componists. The event was supported by the embassies of the coutries Norway, Finland, Sweden, Germany and Japan and also the ministry of culture of Argentina, Fundamús and the House of Opera.

It was a great success and so they did a second Noche Escandinavia Tour between April and May 2004 with concerts in Chile, Argentina, Brasil and the finale in the auditorium of the national art gallery in Bukarest (Romania).

The ministry of culture and the embassy of Finalnd alongside the Japanese embassy supported the tour.
