Hello from Mexico! 🇲🇽

We are so excited to be back together again to perform as an ensemble. 🎶 This past week we have been in Mexico rehearsing and preparing for the upcoming concert and masterclasses on the 14th and 15th of August.

We will be performing premieres of Olli Moilanen, Leevi Räsänen, Erick Tapia, Daniel Martínez García, and Bosba Panh in Mexico. 🎵

If you are in the area we would love to see you there. ☺️ The concert will be at 7PM at UNAM (See poster for more details)!.

We would like to thank Jenni ja Antti Wihuri Foundation and Finnish Cultural Foundation for making this cultural exchange through music a possibility!

¡Hola a todxs desde México! Estamos de vuelta para tocar con AEKI ensemble 😍

Durante la semana pasada hemos estado en la Ciudad de México ensayando y preparando el concierto y los talleres que tendrán lugar los días 14 y 15 de agosto en la Facultad de Música de la UNAM (Universidad Nacional de México).

Interpretaremos obras de Olli Moilanen, Leevi Räsänen, Erick Tapia, Daniel Martínez García y Bosba Panh: un programa con compositores de diversas nacionalidades con obras escritas para nuestro ensemble.

¡Si estáis en la CDMX nos encantaría veros allí! El concierto será a las 19:00 h. en la UNAM (póster adjunto)

Muchas gracias a la Finnish Cultural Foundation y a Jenni ja Antti Wihuri Foundation por hacer este intercambio cultural posible y por darnos la oportunidad de que la música que interpretamos cruce fronteras.
