UMO juhlii: Music of Iro Haarla & Edward Vesala,Malmitalo, Ala-Malmin tori 1, helsinki30.1. At 19:00
UMO’s 40th anniversary will coincide with the 70th anniversary of the late Edward Vesala. To commemorate the great visionary, UMO and pianist-harpist Iro Haarla will collaborate in three concerts that offer a cross-section of Vesala’s repertoire, earlier works by Haarla and the premieres of two commissioned pieces. Expect full-blooded modern jazz and melodic ballads.
Both Vesala and Haarla share a collaborative history with UMO. Vesala appeared as soloist for the big band in the 80s and 90s and they made an album entitled Bad Luck, Good Luck together in 1985. UMO and Haarla have collaborated several times in the 21st century.
UMO will also continue running the “Enemmän irti esityksestä” (Get More Out of the Show) discussions, inviting Iro Haarla to shed light on the themes and background of the pieces before the concerts.
Tickets at Lippupalvelu starting from 20 € / 16 € (service fees included).
