This concert lets the audience enjoy some of the most beautiful work by American composer Burt Bacharach (1928–2023) under the direction of conductor Teemu Takanen. Takanen has orchestrated a concert full of Bacharach’s most popular hits for a large light music ensemble. The jazz and soul singers Nina Mya and Tuomo Prättälä perform as featured vocalists.

The concert features some of Bacharach’s most beloved compositions, including The Look Of Love, Walk On By, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head and I Say A Little Prayer. All in all, Bacharach composed more than 70 songs that appeared on the Top 40 list in the United States, and his work has also been heard in films, television series and musicals.
