Kadi Vija – Tiny Hands Gathering Wonder, The World Becomes Magic

Sound artist Kadi Vija brings to the stage an intimate and inquisitive work about family, love, and seeing the world from a different perspective. “Tiny Hands Gathering Wonder, The World Becomes Magic” tells the story of Teppo, who was born into a rainbow family – not as a fictional tale of childhood, but as poetry of everyday life, where the world takes shape from a slightly different angle. The album, which received the Jazz Album of the Year award at both the Emma Gala and the Indie Awards, was produced by acclaimed drummer and producer Teppo Mäkynen and released by Tampere-based Mustik Motel Music in October 2025.

Musically, the work moves, in the vein of Radiohead and Björk, through a landscape where experimental electronic art meets indie-influenced sensitivity. Its sound world is layered and atmospheric – like a child’s thought: slightly askew, yet exactly right.

The concert is part of the campaign marking the Jazz in Finland 100.
