Hello, Sibelius Akademie has a department called CMT cmt.siba.fi ( Center for Music and Technology), I guess it is the only place where you can find some electro-acoustic studies in Helsinki, also Helsinki University has musicology department. Every first sunday of the month, there is an experimental music and video night at Sturenkatu 2, but I guess you will miss 5th of Februrary. Mbar is good, check out for Sauna Bar as well. In august there is Koneisto Festival, biggest electronic music event in Helsinki. Some concerts are organized every now and then but they are usually announced a week before.
enjoy your time!!
Koray.
Hi list,
since February 17th untill 27th ill be in the Helsinki-Turku area.
Does anybody knows about places that i could go to see concerts or something related? Im also interested about schools and summer courses and festivals.
check out M-bar and the Kiasma Museum at the main center. You can probably also ask around at the Sibelius Akademie which is right around the corner from those two. Also, check out what is going on at the Suomilinna - it's a little island in the harbor where there are artists residencies and galleries and such. often, there are openings and performances theres. I saw phil niblock perform there once.
good luck -august.
