A musical composition inspired by Tove Jansson’s Tales from Moominvalley was presented at Tampere Hall last week on Tove’s birthday. The Tales from Moominvalley concert was such an amazing musical suite for orchestra, children’s choir and vocalists.
Tampere Hall’s Grand Opening Gala Concert celebrated the opening of the world’s only Moomin museum, the renovated Tampere Hall, and the birthday of Tove Jansson and was presented by Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra.
