Avanti! is organising a major climate change concert at the Cable Factory’s Sea Cable Hall on Tuesday 8.11.2022.The programme, which comments on climate change and is based around the theme, starts idyllically and moves towards disaster. The Avant Grand Symphony Orchestra under József Hárs, baritone Tommi Hakala and the male choir Kaiku from Otaniemi under Tapani Länsiö will take to the stage. The concert will also feature interesting expert talks by Mikael Fortelius, Professor Emeritus of Evolutionary Palaeontology at the University of Helsinki, and Hannele Korhose, Research Professor at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
The proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Finnish League for Nature Conservation through its work against climate change. Avanti! has priced the concert tickets in four different categories and the audience will have the opportunity to choose the most suitable one. Come and take responsibility and hear unique tunes and words about the climate.
Tommi Hakala has collaborated with numerous conductors and has performed major roles in opera productions at home and abroad, and has performed actively around the world. In this concert, Hakala will interpret two recitatives and an aria from Joseph Haydn’s oratorio, Creation.
The ambitious and versatile male choir Otaniemi Kaiku, together with the Avant Orchestra, will perform Albert W. Ketelbey’s orchestral work In Monastery Garden. Other composers in the concert include Sibelius, Adams, Scriabin and Scielsi.
