Sibafest: Inside piano’s jaws – extended techniques
This event is an opportunity to get an up-close display of the sonorous playground that people more often call; the Piano.
During the last century composers and pianists recognized the unusual and immense potential of this instrument and developed new ways to work with it.
This “newfound” practices (only 100 years old) are called “extended techniques” and many of them will be demonstrated during this workshop along with a brief historical overview and the challenges they entail. Lambis Pavlou will lead the workshop.
Places are filled in the order of arrival. The doors will open 15 minutes before the event starts.

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.
