Joy of jazz for children and families

Father’s Day at Children’s Etnosoi!”

Helsinki Jazz Association is organizing jazz events for children and families in honour of its 50th anniversary. 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

Small auditorium 14:15-15:00 and 15:45-16:30
