Finnish Songs with Outi Karhu & Glasgow’n Laulu Finnish Women’s Choir 

Outi Karhu is a Finnish singer and pianist, whose restless feet and a curious heart led her to Scotland. Hopping between styles and genre, her songs relay stories of sisterhood and freedom intermingling with fables and fairytales, and her debut album, Let the Light In, was released in late 2025. She leads the Glasgow’n Laulu Finnish Women’s Choir – some of its members are expected to be assisting with learning songs and related harmonies.

Outi describes the workshop content as “we will be using our voices to connect with each other and the world, and exploring Finnish singing style, song and harmony utilising fun vocal exercises and the call and response format”.
