About this event
Old Forest Echoes - Ikimetsän kaiku: Immersive Nature Concert - Caisa 30 Club is scheduled for 31 October and 1 November 2026 at Cultural Centre Caisa, Helsinki. Prices begin at €7.
Old Forest Echoes – Ikimetsän kaiku is a concert experience grown from a desire to protect the old-growth forests of Finland.
It is the vision of internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Barbora Xu (Barbora Šilhánová), who, after four months of artistic research in these forests, now brings her nature-inspired music to urban audiences as an immersive indoor experience. With kantele, Chinese zither and voice at its core, accompanied by video and sounds of the woods, the concert brings the atmosphere of Finnish old-growth forests into the city.

The performance takes place within an indoor forest installation made from natural materials by environmental artist Tommi Laine. A soundscape installation by Mikko Haapoja combines field recordings from Barbora’s time in the forest with footage captured by cinematographer Ville Tanttu.

Barbora Xu/Barbora Šilhánová: director, nature music artist
Mikko H. Haapoja: soundscape installation and sound technician
