Let’s enjoy music together! KEMUT is a free summer music class for children aged 2–3.
KEMUT are high-quality music sessions for children aged 2–3 and their families. The music classes are led by two master’s degree students from the Sibelius Academy, Taina and Anniina.
The goal of the music sessions is to offer children joyful and inspiring experiences through music. The program includes a rich mix of singing, playing instruments, movement, and play. The activities support children’s creativity, social skills, and musical development. KEMUT is suitable both for first-time participants and for children with previous music class experience.
Participation is limited. Free tickets must be reserved through the Musiikkitalo ticket office. Tickets become available on Mon 20th July at 1 PM.
Those with tickets will be able to take part in the music session up close and use the instruments provided during the class. Ticket is reserved for the child, as the accompanying adult won’t need their own ticket.
Even if all participation spots are taken, you’re still welcome to join and watch the session. Instruments are reserved for those with tickets, but everyone is welcome to sing and play along.
All children must be accompanied by an adult. The child must be in the care of an adult throughout the whole class.
The primary language of instruction is Finnish, but everyone can participate regardless of language skills. English will be used as a support language when needed.
Summer music sessions are held in the Lower Foyer on weekdays from July 28 to August 7.
Morning sessions are for children aged 2–3, and afternoon sessions for children aged 4–6.
2–3-year-olds – 10:00–10:45 AM and 11:15 AM–12:00 PM
4–6-year-olds – 1:00–1:45 PM and 2:15–3:00 PM

How about a cup of coffee, a bite to eat or a glass of bubbly during the interval? Order your drinks in advance to beat the queues and make the most of your concert visit. Interval refreshments are not available at all concerts.
Our location could not be more central or easier to get to. Almost all forms of Helsinki public transport stop right outside our doors, cycle parking is provided at all our entrances, and Aimo Park Finlandia, our nearest multi-storey car park, offers lift access directly to our main foyer.
At Helsinki Music Centre we are proud to be an accessible and welcoming place for everyone. Tactile handrails and signage have been fitted across the building, and there are tactile indicator strips on the floor too to guide partially sighted and blind visitors. Induction loops are always available, and guide or companion dogs are of course permitted within the building.
Concert Hall
When purchasing a concert ticket in the Music Centre’s ticket shop, you can view the sightline from your seat in a 360-degree view.
How to use the 360-degree view: Select your preferred seat on the seating map and then choose the ticket type.
On a mobile device, the 360-degree image opens when you tap the chevron at the top edge of the bottom panel. Tapping the image again opens it in full-screen mode, allowing you to rotate the view.
On a computer, you will find the “My Seat” section in the upper-right corner of the ticket shop. Below the heading, a photo of the Concert Hall is displayed. Clicking the image opens the view from the selected seat. You can rotate the image with your mouse to explore the view from the seat in greater detail.
The route to your seat is always printed on your ticket. Check the door number to find out which entrance to take. The seating areas are marked with letters. There is level access to all wheelchair seats from the main entrances. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with our venue – our staff are always on hand to help you find your seat.
Black Box, Camerata and Sonore
Use the row number printed on your ticket to find your seat. Wheelchair seats are situated on the same level as the entrance. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with our venue – our staff area always on hand to help you find your seat.
Unallocated seating
Please choose your seat on the day.
