Jennie Kackur

Jennie Kackur graduated in classical music from the Pietarsaari Vocational Academy in 2015. She completed her Master's degree at the Sibelius Academy in 2020 under the supervision of Jari S. Puhakka, specialising in early music and recorder. She is currently furthering her professional skills with a degree in music education at Novia in Jakobstad. Kackur has performed with several chamber music groups in both Ostrobothnia and Uusimaa, and has also played as a soloist with the Vaasa City Orchestra. She has participated in several master classes with Dan Laurin, Peter Holtslag, Dorothee Oberlinger and others. Kackur is interested in a wide variety of wind instruments, both historical and contemporary, not least the saxophone, which has been her secondary instrument for a long time. In addition to her interest in early music, other musical styles such as contemporary and folk music are close to Kackur's heart. In 2014, Kackur joined a folk music band from Ostrobothnia called Ratatosk, whose music has taken them to many festivals around Finland and abroad.
