Young artists of Summer: Taavi Orro
Living in the shadow of immense global challenges, there is a feeling of always being at the edge of two polarities — on the brink of catastrophe while also surrounded by excess. In this program we humbly present an offering, a prayer for warm life, that floats between these distant points — day, life, joy; night, death, pain. The composers on this program all exist in this middle space, using music as a means of making sense of the overwhelming world around us, often choosing a reconciliation between nature and culture as a possible point of healing.

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.
