Step into Geographies of Hope, a concert where Chilean songwriter Loica invites you to embark on a journey of sonic restoration for our wounded planet.

With a voice that dives deep into the soul, into mountains, oceans, and the delicate terrain of our own emotions. All compositions will unfold for the first time, accompanied by an ensemble of musicians based in Finland.

As you enter this soundscape, you’ll hear the powerful and tender notes of South American songwriting traditions, woven into playful explorations of indie, funk, and R&B.

Picture yourself wandering through a lush garden, lulled by melodies under a magnolia tree, feeling the burning grief of asters and goldenrods, the fierce shout of a forest fire, and the silent cracks of desertification.
