Call for performers – City of Lahti event and cultural services

The City of Lahti’s Event and Cultural Services is seeking performance proposals for care communities and service homes located in the Lahti area, as well as for the Lahti Christmas Village during autumn and winter 2025. Performances will take place in November and December 2025.

Proposals are welcome from choirs, dance and vocal groups, instrumental ensembles, as well as solo and duo performers. Submissions from all artistic disciplines are encouraged.

We are open to new and diverse performers. Please note that care home facilities are often limited in space and typically lack sound equipment, so performances should be suitable for these conditions. When submitting a proposal, it is important to consider the target audience. Some venues may have a piano available, but not all. Our goal is to match performers with appropriate venues and audiences to ensure a meaningful experience for both residents and artists.

This call also includes performances for the Lahti Christmas Village, which will be held from 13 to 21 December 2025. These performances must be suitable for outdoor settings and approximately 15 minutes in duration.

Performance Package Details Each performance package includes either:

  • Two (2) separate visits to care homes, or
  • Two (2) separate performances at the Christmas Village.

Performance durations:

  • Approximately 30 minutes per care home performance
  • Approximately 15 minutes per Christmas Village performance

The total compensation is €300 per performance package. Multiple packages may be purchased from a single performer.

Submission deadline

Proposals must be submitted by Monday, 29 September via the electronic application form (in Finnish).
