SOMETHING ELSE is a concert series for improvised music focused on new meetings of musicians from across Helsinki’s free improv, experimental, jazz, electronic, and global music scenes, held on the 4th Thursday of each month at Kallio’s Musta Kissa bar. New small-ensemble groupings–often first-time meetings–are highlighted each time, with an emphasis on surprise, difference, curiosity, energy, and connection.
