Gigs on the same day in helsinki
Dalindèo is a Helsinki-based jazz sextet founded by composer/guitarist Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen in 2003. Their music is a cinematic jazz reminiscient of the ambience of movies by Aki Kaurismäki mixed with a Tarantinoesque vibe of danger and suspense. With musical influences ranging from Duke Ellington's swing jazz to surf guitars à la Dick Dale, all in a setting inspired by Finnish popular music from the 1950's, Dalindèo have created a contemporary Finnish jazz style of their own. As a live act Dalindèo has gained a reputation as a tight and energetic performer.
The band's line-up includes some of Finland's top jazz musicians: leader Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen (guitar), Pope Puolitaival (saxophone), Jose Mäenpää (trumpet), Pekka Lehti (double bass), Rasmus Pailos (percussion) and Jaska Lukkarinen (drums).

In The Spirit of Sibelius – Sibis Alumni Big BandSonore, Musiikkitalo, helsinki5.5. At 19:00
Sibis Alumni Big Band
Young composers dive into the ingredients of Sibelius' music and, from them, create versions of their own.
Sibis Alumni Big Band honours the Sibelius 150 years jubilee with a concert where they play new big band music inspired by works of Jean Sibelius. Music for the concert has been commissioned from Tim Hagans, Artturi Rönkä, Kari Ikonen, Valtteri Pöyhönen, Mikko Pellinen and Visa-Pekka Mertanen. The composers approach big band music from their own different viewpoints, but the common denominator of their works is their relationship to the music of Sibelius.
Sibis Alumni Big Band
Tim Hagans, conductor
Tickets: 17,50/11,50/6,50 € (Lippupalvelu), 15/10/5 € (Helsinki Music Centre)
