Guardia Neuva

Conductor and master of ceremonies Raimo Vertainen
Soloists: Mari Palo, Mika Pohjonenand Jonna Pirttijoki

 
Guardia Nueva is a musical cornucopia – a large pops and tango orchestra bursting with thunderous power yet rife with artistic sensitivity; a group of captivating, talented young musicians under the direction of their spirited conductor, Raimo Vertainen.

The story, which began in 2001, is still in full swing, yet the repertoire has grown – from Argentinean tango to Finnish popular music, electronic tango, church and Christmas music. Behind it all is the same force: the diverse, delicate, powerful diamond of an orchestra, Guardia Nueva. This is an orchestra that cannot only be heard. It must be experienced.

Admission 28 € / With S-Card 25 €

Lada Nuevo is a Soviet train that travels to the beat of Slavic music. But on this train, the public gets to choose the music it wants to dance to. A fur-hatted orchestra of 10 keeps the dancefloor hot while the public take a musical trainride through the Siberian outback to the sounds of eastern tunes.

Admission 8 €/with S-Card 6 €
