Saxophonist x Baby Babble concert combines baby sounds with jazz
What happens when a jazz saxophone meets a baby’s babbling? On Sun 11.1. , the Music Hall at Culture House Laikku will host two concerts that uniquely and movingly blend the sounds of babies of various ages with jazz improvisation by saxophonist Sami Sippola.
In August 2026, two sound art pieces—Jokellus (Babble) and Kikatus (Giggle)—were created using audio recordings provided by families of the youngest visitors to the Children’s Cultural Centre Rulla. Kikatus will receive its premiere during the Tampere Jazz Happening concert. The sound pieces were produced by sound designer Edit Viljamaa.
The concerts are a collaboration between Tampere Jazz Happening and Children’s Cultural Centre Rulla
