UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra
Paperi T’s songs take on a new form and dimension alongside the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra. This will be Paperi T’s only show of the entire spring season.
Paperi T and UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra continue their collaboration with two joint concerts in April 2027! These will be Paperi T’s only shows of the entire spring season. The collective’s previous joint concerts in 2019 and 2024 sold out rapidly, so be sure to secure your tickets early!
The songs of Finnish rapper and poet Paperi T take on a new form and dimension alongside the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra. Paperi T’s electronic-leaning sound gains a vibrant, organic tone when joined by the 18-piece big band, conducted by Ville Vannemaa.
This special line-up takes to the stage for only two performances: at Logomo in Turku on Friday, April 9, and at the Helsinki Music Centre (Musiikkitalo) on Saturday, April 10. The duration of the concerts is approximately two hours, including an intermission. No age limit – all ages welcome.
Ticket sales for the concert in Helsinki begins on October 22 at 10:00 am at the Helsinki Music Centre’s channels.

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.
