Joy of jazz for children and families

Helsinki Jazz Association is organizing a jazz event for children and families in honour of its 50th anniversary – for the first time in Helsinki Jazz’s history.. The events promise an adventure into the world of free jazz and improvisation, with the audience participating in the music-making through rhythms, sounds, and movement, experiencing the joy of improvisation. The music will be led by a trio of top musicians assembled specifically for the event; for them too, this will be an adventure into a new experience.

Musicians:
Mikko Innanen: Saxophones and other musical instruments
Sami “Samigo” Kontola: Percussion and other instruments
Viivi Maria Saarenkylä: Accordion and other instruments
