The accordion is an incredibly versatile instrument, and Maimu Jõgeda beautifully brings out its unique and surprising qualities through her original compositions and arrangements, inspired by Nordic folk music. Hailing from the southern part of Estonia, she has refined her musical craft with training in classical, jazz, and folk music, with folk being closest to her heart. In 2017, Maimu released her debut album, Pühendus, followed by her second album, The one about…, in 2020. Both of her albums have earned nominations at the Estonian Ethno Music Awards.
On January 31st 2025, Maimu’s new album called “Nordic Reflection” was released, featuring original compositions inspired by the folk music of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, as well as two Estonian traditional songs. Composed between 2019 and 2024 during her studies and travels in countries listed before, the album reflects themes of home, belonging, and the natural beauty of the Nordic landscapes. “Nordic Reflections” is part of the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki Folk Music Department’s recording series, showcasing the artistry of its students and faculty.
Maimu Jõgeda is an internationally acclaimed musician, known for her captivating stage presence, sincerity, and warmth, making her a memorable artist wherever she performs. This concert is part of her summer album release tour.
