Avanti performs on April Fools’ Day on Friday 1.4. at 19.30 at the Dance House in the renovated Pannuhall. The concert is not a sham, but it’s no ordinary one either. Although the intention is to sell a pig in a poke, there is something to be revealed about the show.

Mioko Yokoyama “ s piano concerto, scored in Suvisoito 2021, has not yet been heard in Helsinki, and Sampo Kasurinen” s dystopian Helvetinkonek demands a second performance. Yokoyama, who is completing her second degree in Finland, will play the solo part in her concerto, while Kasurinen’s Helvetinkone will be played by Emil Holmström.

The concert will be conducted by young conducting talent Kristian Sallinen. A pig, Magnus Lindberg’s new work, The Mystery Musician, and a variety of surprises and freaks remain in the bag. Take a risk and surrender to Avant!
