Jazz Finland Live

Tickets 15 €

To celebrate the Jazz Finland 100 anniversary year, the Finnish Jazz Federation together with percussionist and band leader Teppo Mäkynen has got together a supergroup for the tour to perform new arrangements of the pearls of Finnish jazz music. This group composed of different generations of musicians uses the sounds and rhythms of electronic music, rhythm 'n' blues and rap in its expression, linking the history of Finnish jazz to modern times. Central to the concert will be the joy of making and experiencing music, bolstered by the band's energetic expression.

_{In 2026, it will be 100 years since jazz symbolically arrived in Finland with the ship Andania. The year thus marks a historic centenary celebration for Finnish jazz: Jazz in Finland 100. The anniversary highlights Finnish jazz and its artists both in Finland and abroad, celebrating jazz as part of Finland’s cultural heritage. The Jazz in Finland 100 campaign is coordinated by the Finnish Jazz Federation.}
