The Finn-Brit Players: Poetry and Jazz

Poetry & Jazz

Aleksanterinkatu 26

September 13th (Wednedsday)
September 22nd (Friday)
September 27th (Wednesday)
at 8 PM. Free admission.

A strange silence descends over the back room of Cafe Engel in Helsinki. A lone voice in a rhythmical lilt mixes with the strains of music. Yet more red wine is ordered. It's Poetry and Jazz night, produced by the Finn-Brit Players, directed by Joel Holmberg and with Joe White on (various) Guitars and THEREMIN.

In October 2006, Poetry & Jazz celebrates its fifth birthday.
