      The Red Songbook Sing-Through

      Grab your friends and head to Otaniemi’s Rantasauna on November 4th, because this is an event like no other – it’s time for The Red Songbook Sing-Through!

      The goal of the night is clear: to sing the entire Red Songbook from cover to cover, rather than well. And what would an evening at the sauna be without some relaxation? LuTku will keep the sauna and hot tub warm all night, so don’t forget to pack your sauna gear.

      Doors open at 16.30, and the singing starts at 17. Don’t worry if you don’t have your own Red Songbook, you can buy one at the event. So, come along to sing, relax, and spend an unforgettable Monday evening during the Teekkari Tradition Week! See you at Rantsu!

      What: Sing-through of the Red songbook
