Paikka concert
Paikka (Finnish) – place.
A series of site-specific short performances, designed for unusual locations in Helsinki, Finland.
Low-key, community-engaging, and DIY-inspired. The series explores various areas of the city, reaching audiences that could not be reached in a concert hall setting, while creating new sounds and premiering new works in unplayed environments.
So far, the series included:
Paikka concert #1 "Fabulous disaster"
Kulosaari Manor
Temporarily squatted building with works by Yann Robin, John Zorn, Oleg Bezborodko, Þorkell Nordal, Alisa Zaika, Tatsuya Yoshida, Anna Arkushyna, Andrew Hamilton, Kalle Hermanni Autio, and Colin Roche. In collaboration with Makamik kevät-fest.
Paikka concert #2 "Nearly silent impro"
