Money won’t make you happy, but Avant’s Money Concert will!
The economy teaches the art of making the right decisions, and Avant does not take its time. Now even music is being sliced, diced and adjusted, because everything can be done more cheaply and efficiently. Savings measures are being tried at the Sibelius Andante festival, the Karelia series Alla Marcia and Finlandia. Public education will be cut, but Avanti will teach regardless of class size. It’s not just about musical belt-tightening, but about continuous growth and sustainable development.
The participants include Avanti!, Jaakko Kuusisto, Essi Luttinen, Jonathan Roozeman, Otaniemi Echo and the Kaisaniemi Primary School music class choir. Finns will be guided along the road by Jean Sibelius, Johann Strauss Jr, Anton Webern, Morton Feldman, Hans Eisler and the old school songs. Avanti will also present its own improvised vision of the government’s Vision of the Future “Finland 2025 – Built Together”.
Tickets 30 / 20 €, www.lippu.fi
