Beloved Finnish-American vocalist, pianist, and songwriter Eeppi Ursin celebrates the release of her new album My Finnish Soul vol. 2 at Scandinavia House on January 14th!
Based in New York City, Ursin continues her musical journey into Finnish nostalgia with a highly anticipated second volume of Finnish classics, presented through intimate and beautifully stripped-down vocal and piano arrangements. Responding to audience requests, the album features interpretations of timeless favorites including Ievan polkka, Sininen ja valkoinen, and Juokse sinä humma.
The album also includes three original compositions by the award-winning songwriter, inspired by her experiences as an expatriate Finn. Sisu Song reflects the well-known Finnish concept of sisu—determination, resilience, and inner strength. RMS Carpathia, named after one of the great ships that carried immigrants across the Atlantic, pays tribute to the millions of people who arrived at Ellis Island in search of better lives and new opportunities.
Ursin moved to New York in 2020, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, following in the footsteps of her ancestors, who also emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s. Since then, she has toured extensively throughout North America, performing for Finnish communities and audiences interested in Nordic music, culture, and heritage.
“During my years as an expat Finn, I’ve met many people with Finnish roots who are incredibly proud of their heritage,” Ursin says. “I feel both honored and responsible for bringing Finnish nostalgia—with a modern twist—to Finnish communities across the United States and around the world. My own ancestors came to the U.S. in the early 1900s, and their stories have fascinated me and inspired this album.”
Following the album’s release, Ursin will tour throughout the United States and Finland through spring 2027. The tour began in Finland last summer and continued with performances at Nordic-themed festivals and events in Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Maine, and Florida.

Americans voted for change. But what kind?
Democrats have won control of Congress. But a rejection of the party in power is not necessarily an endorsement of the alternative. What did voters reject — and what are they asking for now? Has anything fundamentally changed about the crisis facing American democracy?
Fareed Zakaria and Patrick Deneen meet at 92NY for America’s Liberal Reckoning, a Munk Debate on whether America’s founding commitments to individual rights, free expression, and limited government can answer the country’s discontent — or helped create it.
Join us as the Munk Debates, Toronto’s renowned forum for substantive and fearless public debate, come to New York City for the first time, with longtime moderator Rudyard Griffiths presiding.
The motion: Be it resolved, liberalism has failed America.
Arguing for the motion, Notre Dame political philosopher Patrick Deneen, author of Why Liberalism Failed and Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, contends that liberalism’s failures grow out of its successes. By putting individual autonomy above all else, he argues, it has weakened families, communities, and the institutions that give life meaning — while concentrating power in corporations, bureaucracies, and a professional elite. For Deneen, America needs to move beyond liberalism.
Arguing against the motion, CNN anchor, Washington Post columnist, and international bestselling author Fareed Zakaria maintains that liberalism’s principles remain essential to America’s future. Individual rights, free expression, free markets, and democratic institutions have delivered freedom and prosperity while allowing people with profoundly different beliefs to live together. The answer, he argues, is to renew those commitments.
After the votes, hear the arguments — with two leading thinkers debating what America should do next.
