Tarja Turunen back in Bucharest on November 4

Tarja Turunen, ‘The Queen of Symphonic Rock’ will be back on stage in Romania on November 4 at ‘Palace Hall’ (Sala Palatului) Bucharest, to promote her new album, ‘Colors in the Dark’ part of a world tour, ‘Colors in the Road’.

Tarja Turunen or simply Tarja, is a Finnish singer and songwriter. She is a light lyric soprano and has a vocal range of three octaves.

Tarja began serious classical vocal training at 17. After school, she began studying music (with a specialization in church music) at the Sibelius Academy. From 2001 to 2003 she studied at the music academy Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, where she trained as a soloist with further specialization in art song.

From the first album “Angels Fall First” (1997) on, critics described Turunen’s vocals using adjectives such as angelic or valkyrian. On the following albums the singing was technically more complex. As a classical singer, Turunen sings with classical vocal technique. She explained that in the early days of Nightwish, it was difficult to combine classical technique with the metal sound in a way that gave her liberty of action without damaging her vocal cords.Classical techniques helped her to play with her voice, so she decided not to pursue extra training in rock/pop singing.

This year, Tarja will enchant the audience with a complex show based on the harmonious combination of classical instruments with electric guitar, bass guitar and with spectacular Mike Terrana’ s drums. Next to the elite musicians accompanying Tarja, we must refer to cellist Max Lilja former band member of Apocalyptica.

The Finnish artist has recorded a special message for the Romanian audience: ‘Hi Bucharest, Romania, I’ll be there, very soon, 4^th   of November, rocking with you people, like never before. Can’t really wait, I’m so happy to be back in Romania. See you soon, Bucharest, love you!’
