Avant’s office staff got a new member with the arrival of producer Pekka Haapanen. He has gained experience in classical music administration, for example as a substitute for the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra’s publicist and producer. She has become acquainted with the festival scene as a spokesperson for the Crusell Week in Uusikaupunki.
Originally from Loimaa, Haapanen initially studied general literature at the University of Turku, but later changed his major to musicology. Haapanen, who describes himself as a “happy avant-garde person”, will move to Helsinki with his new job in August.
