Sulasolin Helsingin piiri ry
On Saturday, October 19, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sulasol’s Helsinki district organizes a cavalcade of choirs in cooperation with Musiikkitalo. Choirs from Sulasol’s Uusimaa district and the Finnish Workers’ Music Union’s Uusimaa district have also been invited to participate.
There are a total of 20 choirs and they each perform a 15-minute set from their choir’s repertoire according to their own choice, so the event has no actual theme. The public is welcome to follow the concert, even for the whole day or for a shorter time according to their own schedule. The venue is the main conservatory of the Music Hall, where the cafe is open throughout the event, so in addition to the choir singing, you can refresh yourself if you want, even with a cup of coffee or a glass of your favorite drink.
It is also a great opportunity to listen to choirs in the sense that if you have ever sung or wanted to sing in a choir, you can find a hobby that refreshes your soul and body in the event. Bravely just to nudge the participants by the sleeve and agree on the audition song!
Tickets to Helsinki Music Centre events are available through our website, phone service and box office.
Helsinki Music Centre’s ticket sales system has been updated. As a result of this update, all our events will be removed from the national Ticketmaster Suomi platform. Once the transition is complete, tickets to Helsinki Music Centre concerts and other events will be available through our own channels.
Book tickets for 10–20 or more people is by contacting group sales service by email at ryhmat@musiikkitalo.fi or by telephone on 0600 411 101 (Monday to Friday, 9:00–15:00).
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.
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.
