For the opening of the series, we will present two solo performances and an ensemble performance by our main guests: Mariam Junolainen, Natalia Castrillón, and The Global Interdisciplinary Improvisation Ensemble.
After these three inspiring performances, the stage will open for Blind Dates for Improvisers—a first-time musical encounter between members of the audience and our guest artists. Bring your instrument, draw inspiration from the artworks at Forum Box Gallery, and join in creating spontaneous performances together. The Blind Dates for Improvisers will be hosted by Sergio Castrillón.

HELSINKI EXPERIMENTAL SERIES is a Community Engagement, Action Research, and Artistic Research project that aims to create a shared space for interaction between the many communities of improvisers living and working in Helsinki.
The HES series is developed in collaboration with Forum Box Gallery, the Global Music Department of the Sibelius Academy and Interkult (Kassandra ry). The research, curatorial, and artistic direction of the project is led by Sergio Castrillón.
