2nd Generation Lynx Larynx
2nd Generation Lynx Larynx is the 2G Festival’s own supergroup. Love Antell, a Sweden-Finnish artist and Jarkko Martikainen, born in the former GDR, have composed a full-length album to be released at the Oulu2026 Opening Festival in January. An exclusive advance listening event will take place in Oulu on January 17, 2026, at Bar1, at 3:00 PM.
The album’s string arrangements are by Lara Poe, a Bostonian composer with maternal roots in Oulu. Poe is a distinguished composer of contemporary classical music. Her compositions have been performed at the Helsinki Festival closing concert and at the prestigious BBC Proms in 2024. The material of 2nd Generation Lynx Larynx at 2G FESTIVAL will be premiered by an extended ten person ensemble.
