That’s Why There Was LoiskiS – a concert celebrating the first 25 years of the children’s music orchestra.

Over the years, the line-ups have changed, and Loiskis has collaborated with a wide range of soloists, including Arja Koriseva, Eeva-Leena Pokela, Eija Ahvo, Susanna Haavisto, Clown Dodo, Satu Sopanen, Mikko Perkoila and Tuomo Rannankari.

But that’s not all… The dive into the orchestra’s history begins even before the concert with a sneak peek at the forthcoming Loiskis documentary!

At the That’s Why There Was LoiskiS history concert, the Children’s Music Orchestra Loiskis will also publish a richly illustrated, nearly 200-page hardback history book chronicling its colourful 25-year journey. The work is written by Hilda Ivars & Oona-Emilia Enkelsaari, who also authored the biography of Ansa Ikonen. The book dives into the orchestra’s vibrant activity and history with a real splash!
