EERO SAUNAMÄKI
✨ Welcome – I'm happy you're here!
​
I'm Eero Saunamäki, a Finnish recorder virtuoso, saxophonist and singer – perhaps best known for my performances at Finland’s Presidential Independence Day Reception and on national concert stages.
​
My musical work spans both classical and contemporary genres: I perform as a soloist with symphony orchestras, in chamber music groups, with bands, and as a solo artist. I'm equally at home in concert halls, at festivals, in clubs, and at private events – and yes, you can book me to perform at your event, no matter the size.
​
I’m particularly passionate about changing perceptions of the recorder – an instrument that’s often misunderstood. Through my “Recorder Guru” concerts, I bring its fascinating history and surprising versatility to life. I also love playing lively saxophone sets with DJs or quartets, and singing in various ensemble settings.
​
Often my performances are a unique blend of everything I do – from baroque music to pop, soul classics to Finnish evergreens. Whatever the setting, I aim to bring joy, presence, and a memorable atmosphere to every performance.
​
📲 You can find me on YouTube and other social media platforms.
​
✨ With decades of experience and a warm, collaborative spirit, I’m always open to new ideas and performance opportunities.
Feel free to get in touch – let’s create something special together!
