KALEVALA'S
DIVERSE COMMUNITY
The musical is composed by New York-based, Finnish composer Johanna Telander who, as an immigrant herself, has always wanted to create opportunities for international talent. Past concerts and readings have included talent from many cultural and national backgrounds. We have loved the collaborations with our Finnish, Japanese, Israeli, Estonian, Chinese-Hawaiian American, and Latino talent! We plan to continue providing opportunities to be creative and to include storytellers from all backgrounds both on and off stage in this globally progressive way.
