Watch a free live stream of the concert
Politano’s research delves into the dynamic interplay between performers of folk and classical music within an intercultural environment and the works explore processes of music notation within the realm of intercultural composition.
Collaborative composition efforts unfolded in conjunction with classical and folk musicians from Finland, Estonia, and Brazil with the support of the Sibelius Academy and the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. The convergence of musicians with diverse backgrounds not only fosters a harmonious musical exchange but also cultivates fertile ground for the emergence of novel dialogues between classical and folk traditions.

Mannerheimintie renovation project
Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.
