Flok performs a concert consisting of their own heartfelt music and their best cover arrangements.
Flok is a new, fresh voice in Nordic a cappella. By writing their own original pop music, the group seeks to stretch the limits of a cappella music and overcome the preconceived notions of what it can be. In addition to the more traditional venues of vocal music, Flok sees themselves at more mainstream clubs and festivals.
In June 2023, Flok won 1st prize in the prestigious Tampere Vocal Festival’s Amplified Ensembles category, being the first Finnish group in 20 years to do so. The prize has previously been awarded to groups such as Rajaton and Club for Five. In addition, Flok was also granted the Audience Award.
At the terrace of Musiikkitalo, Flok performs a concert consisting of their own heartfelt music and their best cover arrangements.

Free concerts are held at Musiikkitalo’s terrace on summer afternoons from Wednesday to Saturday, May 29th to Aug 3rd.
The concerts feature talented musicians from the Sibelius Academy of the University of Arts Helsinki, as well as concerts presented by HelsinkiMissio, Organ Night & Aria and World Music Centre. The genres and music vary daily: mostly classical or folk music on Wednesdays, jazz on Fridays and pop on Saturdays.
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.
