Global Spring: Masters Transcultural Ensemble
Through a collaborative and open environment, we strive as musicians to bring out our diverse and rich musical backgrounds, renewing them in the interaction between cultures.
With the power of improvisation, storytelling and songwriting, our ensemble draws from human emotions and life experiences, creating new soundscapes and building a common dialogue.

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.
