kohoBeat
kohoBeat is an international group of musicians based in Finland. We promote our own music and musicians by organizing classical and contemporary music concerts in Finland and abroad. Our productions are done in cooperation with cultural entities, and made possible thanks to the support of our sponsors.
kohoBeat in Chile
In May 2010 kohoBeat will join the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of Chile's independence by presenting "Finlandia: Canto a la música" in three different cities: Santiago de Chile, Valparaíso and one more city to be yet confirmed. This project, lasting a period of five days, is possible thanks to the sponsorship of the Embassy of Finland in Chile, Normet Oy and the Bicentenary Commission, which was specifically created for the commemoration of the bicentenary of the Republic of Chile.
The program will consist of a recital for voice and piano featuring soprano Lisbet Klockars and pianist Javier Arrebola.
FINLANDIA: canto a la música marked an important step forward for kohoBeat. With this, our first international project, kohoBeat made a genuine impact in Lima by presenting a program fully dedicated to Finnish music and musicians. In contrast to previous events, this time we presented ten days of activities ranging from conferences, lied recitals, and a symphony orchestra concert, all of which were well attended.
The publicity preceding the event was extensive: four radio interviews and several articles in the most widely circulating magazines and newspapers of Lima.
We wish to thank our sponsors for making this project possible. We are already evaluating proposals for future projects, so please visit us in the coming months.
Thank you!
