Finnish folk music stars unite in Tampere for nature!
The spectacular lineup that completely sold out the Helsinki Music Centre’s concert hall last February is now bringing an unforgettable concert to Tampere Hall to benefit old-growth forests. The stage will once again fill with a vibrant blend of new and traditional music, as top folk artists from across Finland perform their songs and compositions to defend biodiversity. At the heart of the repertoire is the Nouse luonto (Rise to Nature) album collection released in 2025, which speaks of nature’s power and leaves a lasting mark on the listener’s heart.
🌱 Music Turns into Forest – Achievements of the Last Concert:
With the ticket proceeds and donations from the sold-out Helsinki concert, a dedicated conservation area was purchased for the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation: the beautiful Kimalaismetsä (Bumblebee Forest) located in Kitee. This area became the foundation’s historic 300th protected site, safeguarding vital habitats for pollinators. Now, it is Tampere’s turn to transform melodies into permanently protected nature!
🎟️ Conservationist Support Ticket:
By purchasing a Support Ticket, you directly fund forest conservation through the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation. The entire net profit from the Nouse luonto concerts is donated to forest protection once production costs are covered. However, the Support Ticket ensures that at least €20 goes directly and in full to conservation efforts through the concert.
✨ Evening Highlights:
🎶 Songs performed in Finnish, Swedish, and the Romani language
🌲 Concert proceeds directly support the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation
🎤 Culminates in a joint final song by all the artists
