Music Box \/ Soittorasia has been delving into Scandinavian, light Classical, Celtic and Early Medieval-Renaissance music as we expand our repertoire. It's a sure bet that the three of us will be able to put together great music for people's special occasions - concerts, house concerts, parties, weddings, showers, receptions...
