Sibafest: Improvisation in Early Music – Anthony Marini
This session introduces different ways that improvisation is used in early music
One of the hallmarks of early music is the scarcity of information on the page, and the importance of tools such as improvisation to bring the notes to life. In this session, we will look at the different ways that improvisation is used in early music, as well as putting this information into practice through diminutions. Be sure to stay for the Ground Workshop, which will give you a chance to really put your skills to good use!
The doors will open 15 minutes before the event starts. Places are filled in the order of arrival.

Sibafest 26–27 Jan 2024
On 26–27 Jan, the main event of Sibelius Academy’s Sibafest will fill out the Helsinki Music Centre. The festival kicks off a year packed with a thousand concerts. At Sibafest, you can follow the rehearsals for the Marriage of Figaro, try out the organ, peek behind the scenes of the symphony orchestra and participate in a techno concert and panel discussions.
Now taking place for the tenth time, Sibafest is the biennial main event of the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki. The event presents the Academy’s internationally top-quality concert activities. The main parts are played by the Sibelius Academy’s own students and teachers and well as the audience themselves – both together and separately.
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.
