Tarja Turunen has issued the following tour announcement on Her Official Website:

The most popular Christmas artist in Finland from recent years, soprano Tarja Turunen returns to perform in Finland with the already highly acclaimed concert tour. The artist, who has released just her latest rock CD “Colours In The Dark” in August, will perform this year eight Christmas concerts in Finland, extending the tour for the first time to Kemi and Kokkola. In addition to the already familiar top-musicians configuration from last years (Harus); Kalevi Kiviniemi, Marzi Nyman and Markku Krohn who will play in Orimattila, Hämeenlinna, Jyväkylä, Lapua and Orivesi, Tarja will also perform special Christmas shows in Kiuruvesi, Kokkola and Kemi.  In those cities ex-Apocalyptica cellist Max Lilja will play cello as well as in Kiuruvesi and Kokkola Mervi Myllyoja will join to the tour with her violin and in Kokkola organs will be played Ilpo Laspas. We will give part of our tour profits to Children´s bank of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran mission to secure children’s basic necessities like food security and water to the world’s poorest developing countries.
