ho orchestra


Hi everyone!

as you might know, the Ho Orchestra got together again in the past two weeks to perform a new program.

The Spoon River Project. The four concerts in Switzerland were magnificent, two of the shows were recorded.

Everyone who has anything to do with the project was pretty enthusiastic about the outcome!


Which means that a) the Ho Orchestra will try to get back together for more concerts
b) the Ho Orchestra will either record these songs in a studio - or if the quality permits it issue a live album taken from the gigs.

The question is this: Before we start mixing the songs and then printing them up, we'd like to know how many of you would like to own such an album.

The contents: no songs by the Nits or Värttinä, but 15 to 20 new songs written by Henk Hofstede and Simon Ho. Great songs, poppy, moody, full of beautiful harmonies.

As performed by:
Simon Ho - piano, grand piano Henk Hofstede - vocals, guitar, banjo
Shirley Grimes, Vera van der  Poel, Susan Aho, Mari Kaasinen-Paaso, Johanna Virtanen - vocals
Arwen Linnemann - basses  Titia van Krieken - keyboards Oli Hartung - guitars, banjo
Markku Lepistö - accordeon Rob Kloet - drums, percussion

I assure you that it will be a wonderful CD.

Thanks for answering to facon@faze.ch, Eric
