The Board of Trustees of Finlandia Foundation National (FFN) selected Ms. Terhi Miikki-Broersma from Lynden, WA, as the Finlandia Foundation National Performer of the Year (POY) for 2009 at their November meeting.
The new Finlandia Foundation National POY is a multi-talented musician who earned a Master’s Degree in Music at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and worked full-time as a cantor-organist before moving to the United States.
Ms. Miikki-Boersma is an exceptionally talented and versatile performer. As a soloist, she performs on organ, piano, bassoon and accordion.

She has been a member of Wind Ensemble in Finland and is at present a member of Whatcom Symphony Orchestra, Bellingham, WA.
Terhi is also an accomplished and enthusiastic organizer of numerous music events and concerts both in Finland and in the United States. When it is time for lively Finnish music, she entertains her audience with singing and playing the accordion.
With a repertoire ranging from classical through contemporary to sing-a-longs, Terhi offers a variety of choices for event organizers.
