Larufest’s Salon
While waiting for the Lauttasaari Music Festival to begin on June 12, you can get into the cultural spirit at Larufest’s Salon, located on the second floor of Lauttis (Lauttasaarentie 28, Helsinki).
The Salon is open daily from June 3 to June 15, from 14 to 18. The program features live music and a daily rotation of guests from the worlds of music, literature, or visual arts.
The opening of Larufest’s Salon will take place on Monday, June 2, at 16 for the supporting members of the Lauttasaari Music Festival, and at 6 PM for all friends of culture. The Ainola Quartet will perform, and the speech will be given by the chair of the supporting association, Ambassador emeritus Petri Tuomi-Nikula.
