Maa ilmasta plays instrumental rock with a big heart and an open mind.

The Finnish name Maa ilmasta is a wordplay on double meanings; it translates to ’from the universe’ as well as ’Earth from the air’ or ’Earth from above’. This ambiguity reflects the aesthetics of the band, simultaneously not taking themselves too seriously but creating some seriously good songs. Maa ilmasta have released two acclaimed albums ISO YÖ (2021) & Kaunis kesäkaupunki (2023) and are currently working on the third one.

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.
