Timo Hietala and Pessi Levanto, who are among Finland’s leading film composers, have contributed the music to underscore the crazy world of Laurel and Hardy. The music will be performed by UMO Jazz Orchestra. Conductor Kari Heinilä.

Gaby Moreno (www)
Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno will perform for the first time in Finland this autumn. Moreno mixes blues, jazz and r'n'b in her music and she was awarded a Grammy in the category of best new artist last year.
Gaby Moreno was born and raised in Guatemala and she started listening to blues, r&b and soul at a young age. Singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin inspired her to take on singing herself. A little over 10 years ago, Gaby moved to Los Angeles, USA, and after winning "John Lennon Songwriting Contest" in 2006, she released her debut album Still The Unknown in 2008. After this two more acclaimed releases by Moreno have come out in the 2010s; Illustrated Songs (2011), and Postales (2012). A versatile artist, Moreno is not only noted for her solo work but she has also collaborated with various big names. One such example is the hit song “Kiss of Fire”, recorded alongside British singer and actor Hugh Laurie.
Duration 90 min, no intermission.
Tickets starting from 46 €, Lippupalvelu.
