Co-produced with Globe Art Point
The core mission of Globe Art Point (GAP) is advocating cultural equity, diversity and inclusion in the arts and cultural sector in Finland. GAP also serves as an information centre and meeting point for artists, cultural workers and arts and cultural institutions in Finland.
Free concerts are held at Musiikkitalo’s terrace on summer afternoons from Thursday to Saturday, from 29 May until 2 August, starting at 5 pm. The concerts feature talented musicians from the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, as well as other Finnish artists. Throughout the summer, the stage will host a diverse range of interesting artists from different genres: mainly pop music on Thursdays, jazz on Fridays. Additionally, the programme includes interesting performances from the fields of contemporary folk and classical music. The early summer Thursday afternoons are dedicated to the Radio Helsinki KESÄLIVE.
In case of rain, the concert will be held inside in the Musiikkitalo Restaurant.
