Epic Together (EN)

Unreality is a Helsinki-based mixed choir, founded in January 2014. This choral society is the first Finnish choir to sing music exclusively from movies, TV series, video games and animations. Unique choral arrangements and the blazing orange dragon are their trademarks – time after time they take the listener to beloved sceneries beyond reality and back again. Unreality holds concerts biyearly and is often seen performing at conventions that gather thousands of visitors, including Tracon, Desucon Frostbite, Yukicon, Ropecon and Popcult Helsinki. Their greatest milestones have been the international events Helsinki Game Music Festival and Worldcon 75. Their small group, Nanoreality, is also actively doing gigs in events of all kinds. The choir's artistic director is Jari Koivistoinen.

Helsinki Symphonic Winds was founded in 1995 as a member of the Student Union of Helsinki University. Since then the main mission of the orchestra has been to perform both old and contemporary symphonic music with ambition - to keep a high artistic level both in repertoire and playing. The artistic leader and conductor of the orchestra is Henriikka Teerikangas. Helsinki Symphonic Winds organises 2 to 4 symphony concerts and smaller chamber music concerts every year, does different kind of projects and performs in various kind of events including dance balls. The players are both students and professionals from Helsinki area schools and universities: music students, skilled amateurs and professional musicians wanting to join in and support the common cause, excellent wind music.

Jari Koivistoinen is a Helsinki-based conductor and musician, with choral experience ranging from small professional ensembles to large-scale groups.

In addition to Unreality, Jari is artistic director at student choir Uvula Aurea, and acts as assistant conductor for Tapiola Chamber Choir and Kampin Laulu. He also works at boys’ choir Cantores Minores, and has also worked with a great number of choirs in the Helsinki region (f.ex. Murtosointu, Manifestum male voice chorus, Kumpulan kuoro, Helsinki Police Singers). In addition to conducting, he also works as a freelance church musician in a number of Helsinki parishes, and is also otherwise active in the field of music, acting as pianist, chamber musician, singer, composer & arranger.

Jari is a major fan of all things cultural, be it movies, games, visual arts or standup comedy. His journey with Unreality began in the spring of 2017.
