Superpluck

Superpluck is a Helsinki-based trio formed by Rody van Gemert (guitar), Eija Kankaanranta (kantele) and Assi Karttunen (harpsichord) focusing on contemporary music. The trio is inspired by the similarities and contrasts of the timbre produced by their unique line-up. Following their debut in 2019, the trio has given concerts in Finland and toured twice in Japan. Collaborating with composers is at the heart of their existence and the trio has commissioned over 20 works by Finnish, Japanese and Spanish composers including Juha T. Koskinen, Mioko Yokoyama, Asta Hyvärinen and Osmo Tapio Raihala 

2022-2025 Superpluck hosted a series of contemporary music clubs in Helsinki with the support from the Finnish Cultural Foundation and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. In 2025 Superpluck performed at the Musica Nova festival in Helsinki and in 2026 they will tour Japan, premiering Lotta Wennäkoski's trio concerto in collaboration with the Nomad Ensemble and Norio Sato.
