Global Spring: Body percussion performance
Global music students collaborate with the International School of Music Finland and Helsinki International School to present a unique body percussion performance.
Renowned percussionist Nana Vasconcelos famously said, ’Voice is the first instrument, body is the best instrument.’ Embracing this philosophy, the project delves into the boundless realms of artistic expression. Through the medium of body percussion, participants explore creativity, rhythms, and enjoyment, while also showcasing the talents of young individuals residing in the vicinity of Helsinki. This vibrant piece, performed by children, will feature collaboration with the esteemed students from Sibelius Academy, further enriching the musical landscape of the performance.”

Mannerheimintie renovation project
Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.
