Details:
Johanna Grüssner is a close collaborator of The New York Voices artists Darmon Meader and Peter Eldridge, Jane Monheit, Antonio Sanchez, Miles Okazaki, Anders Berglund, the late clarinet master Putte Wickman, Svante Thuresson, Elise Einarsdotter, Jonas Knutsson, Mika Pohjola, Palle Pesonen, Andy Fite, and many other renowned New York and Swedish musicians.

In 1998, Ms. Grüssner - a Berklee and Manhattan School double graduate - played a significant role when starting a music education program in a troubled Bronx public school.

The first one to tell the story about Johanna Grüssner's heartfelt commitments for the Bronx children is the New York Times reporter Anemona Hartocollis, and her book Seven Days of Possibilities.

Over the course of several years, Ms. Grüssner formed an intense, transformative connection with her students, and eventually took her 24-piece children's gospel chorus to her hometown in rural Finland, to meet her family and friends. Word spread about Johanna's mission and accomplishments. Three first page stories in the New York Times and several visits at U.S. national morning TV-shows gave Johanna and her mission rapid and unpredicted publicity.

Johanna Grüssner has received awards from the Finlandia Foundation and Thanks To Scandinavia, among many other honors.
