Global Spring: Sami Karkar
Pierrot et la guerre (Pierrot and the war)
Pierrot was living in peace with their family when the war broke. Like everyone else, they must serve their country. Will Pierrot face a tragic fate, or will they escape the curse of the war?
Sami Karkar proposes a unique six-piece ensemble of vocalists- percussionists. His music draws on traditional Occitan singing and a blend of world-wide rhythmic traditions, brought together by a passion for raw traditional voices, rich harmonies, and the driving force of rhythm.

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.
