NYKY Ensemble
NYKY Ensemble is a contemporary music group of Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy, which serves as a forum for contemporary music projects and provides perspectives on the trends and techniques of our time, such as expanded playing techniques, live electronics, microtonality, minimalism or cross-disciplinary artistic cooperation. The composition of the ensemble depends on the pieces to be presented at any given time, and the visiting supervisor in each concert period is a musician or ensemble specialising in contemporary music.
Ung Nordisk Musik 2025
Ung Nordisk Musik (UNM) is a Nordic and Baltic-wide contemporary music festival for composers and sound artists under the age of 31.

So what’s the party? Next year’s 80th Anniversary of UNM.
