SOLD OUT!

In the fall of 2011, the Club For Five vocal ensem­ble and UMO will be con­tin­u­ing their hugely suc­ces­ful ‘A New Take on Tango’ tour which fea­tures ever­green tan­gos by Unto Mononen and Toivo Kärki in new, inno­v­a­tive and enter­tain­ing versions.

‘A New Take on Tango’ is a trib­ute to two leg­endary Finnish song­writ­ers and will present a new per­spec­tive on their music as a highly uncon­ven­tional tango ensem­ble    –    a big band with a five-part vocal ensem­ble    –    com­bine Finnish tan­gos with any­thing from jazz, rock, disco and film music. The imag­i­na­tive arrange­ments, writ­ten by Marzi Nyman and Pessi Levanto among oth­ers, take the Finnish tan­gos on a tour around the world from Amer­ica to Argentina and from Cuba to Portugal.

Club For Five have pre­vi­ously col­lab­o­rated with UMO in a pro­gramme of music by Jukka Linkola in autumn 2009.

Club For Five

Club For Five is a unique phe­nom­e­non on the Finnish musi­cal scene, break­ing the bound­aries of the human voice. They are an a cap­pella ensem­ble of supreme tech­ni­cal capa­bil­ity who have wowed audi­ences in Fin­land and abroad. Their music defies cat­e­gori­sa­tion, as their arrange­ments mix and match any­thing from jazz, pop and rock to clas­si­cal. It might be best to describe the style of Club For Five as just ‘Club For Five’!

Although there are no instru­ments on stage, at a Club For Five con­cert you can hear any­thing from an elec­tric gui­tar to a drum kit. Instead of just imi­tat­ing instru­ments, how­ever, the singers com­bine these effects smoothly with pol­ished ensem­ble singing and play­ful music mak­ing. The five singers (Maija Sar­i­ola, Eeppi Ursin, Jouni Kan­nisto, Juha Viitala and Tuukka Haa­paniemi) put on a show brim­ming with dis­arm­ing joy, energy and vir­tu­oso performance.

Duration: 2 x 45 min, intermission
