Avanti!
Then, since its creation in 1983, Avanti! it has given world premieres, Finnish premieres, concert series that cross borders and inter-artistic collaborations. An important part of Avant’s activities is the Suvisoitto, a summer festival organised in Porvoo. Avant’s home is at Kaapelitehdas in Ruoholahti, Helsinki, where you can enjoy the industrial atmosphere at the Avanti! -club. Pianist Joonas Ahonen will be Avant’s Artistic Director from 2024-2027.
