This year, the Porvoo Jazz Festival will bring together Avanti! chamber orchestra and the Suvisoitto event. A concert will be held at June’s Suvisoitto, where Porvoo Jazz Club will be visiting the festival’s Saturday night with the Adele Sauros Quartet as a performer. Chamber Orchestra Avanti! on the other hand, comes to Porvoo Jazz Festival for a return visit with vibraphonist Panu Savolainen. The closing concert of the event will take place in the beautiful surroundings of Porvoo Art Hall as Porvoo Jazz x Avanti Panu Savolainen.
There is no need to break down musical boundaries if you don’t take them into account in the first place. When jazz vibraphonist Panu Savolainen meets Avanti’s small ensemble, they move in a Panusavo-like way on the ground of jazz, classical music and Finnish percussion – as a starting point, good songs that are good to play and listen to. In addition to Panu Savolainen’s own compositions, the concert consists of well-known loan pieces arranged for this quite unique composition. There will be chamber jazz swing, wistfully beautiful melodies as well as explosively energetic improvisation, guaranteed to captivate the audience.
No age limit.
