The Laiho Trio
The Laiho Trio was formed by three brothers, Altti Uolevi Laiho (8 April 1939 Pori – 20 January 2017 Ulvila), Veikko Olavi Laiho (31 December 1942 Pori) and Pentti Kalevi Laiho (21 July 1944 Pori). According to many experts, the trio was extremely unusual in its composition, repertoire, and virtuosity. The repertoire of the trio consisted of big symphony orchestral compositions arranged for three accordions. The brothers grew up in the city of Pori, in southwestern Finland, but they made their main career in the United States where they lived for years.
