In 2026, it will be one hundred years since Finland’s national poet Eino Leino passed away. One of his most important works is The Smiling Apollo, a poetic cycle published in 1898. To honour the anniversary, Iiro Rantala and Aarne Pelkonen will release Finland’s first complete recording of the work in spring 2026, alongside a dramatic concert production directed by Jukka Nylund.
