UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra feat. Selma Savolainen

UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra performs in Ekenäs and at Kulturhuset Karelia after several years!

Making her debut as UMO’s guest vocal soloist is singer-composer Selma Savolainen, who has been aptly described as the "Saima Harmaja for millennials." Her music combines profound lyrics with intense jazz.

The concert features brand new big band arrangements from Savolainen’s award-winning album Horror Vacui, as well as works composed especially for this concert, bring Savolainens voice into the sound of the large orchestra.

The programme will also feature material from Savolainen’s recently released album in the shade, where the raw edge of 90s British punk meets vibrant Brazilian rhythms. The conductor is Mikko Hassinen.

Standard 35 €
Retiree 30 €
Students, kids, unemployed, servicemen 20 €

UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra is taking jazz to the Finnish-Swedish regions of the country with the support of The Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland.

Duration about 75 minutes, no intermission. No age limit.
Selma Savolainen (b. 1993) is one of the most luminous Finnish jazz vocalists, composers, and bandleaders of her generation. She is renowned for her exceptional ability to blend modern jazz traditions and virtuosic improvisation across genres, ranging from experimental indie hybrids to contemporary classical music. Savolainen’s compositions echo both Nordic melancholy and the vibrant influences of the New York jazz scene. Her acclaimed debut album, Horror Vacui (Whirlwind Recordings, 2023), propelled her to the centre of the Finnish jazz scene and earned her the prestigious Jazz-Emma award. In addition to her own quintet and the vocal ensemble Signe, Savolainen is known for her versatile collaborations at the intersection of various musical styles. Her live performances have received widespread critical acclaim. www.selmasavolainen.com
