Avanti! big climate concert will take its place in Merikaapelihalli (in Cabel Factory) on Tuesday 8th of October 2022.

Avanti’s large symphony orchestra will take the stage, conducted by József Hárs – featuring baritone Tommi Hakala and Otaniemen Kaiku choir led by Tapani Länsiö. The concert will also feature interesting speeches by Mikael Fortelius, professor emeritus of evolutionary paleontology at the University of Helsinki, and Hannele Korhonen, research professor at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

Avanti has priced the tickets for the concert in four different categories, and the audience has the opportunity to choose the most suitable price category for them. Come along to take responsibility and hear unique tunes and words about the climate.
