Den 22.11.2026 släpper låtskrivaren, poeten och tusenkonstnären Rickard Eklund sitt efterlängtade andra album TU, vilket firas med en episk skivreleasekonsert på Ritz!

Rickard Eklund har blivit en viktig punkt i den finlandssvenska kulturkartan med sånger som Finland, Sömntåg och Slute. Efter några år med det mytomspunna dialektrockbandet Schlagwerk och efter utgivningen av det kritikerrosade soloalbumet ”1. (ätt)” har Rickard även banat sig en väg inom det litterära med diktsamlingarna tundra och Att kyssas utan tänder. I albumet TU använder Rickard alla sina uttryck för att skapa en helhet som aldrig tidigare skådats i Svenskfinland. Det här blir årets mäktigaste musikupplevelse. Under konserten spelar han tillsammans med ett storslaget band som består av piano, trumpeter, flöjt, gitarr, trombon, tuba, klarinett, saxofon, cello och trummor. Men det är inte bara en musikkonsert. Låtarna varvas med visuellt material och anekdoter. I foajén har besökarna dessutom möjlighet att träffa konstnärerna Li Taiga, Maria Fox Larsson och Nikolai Likhtenfeld och ta del av de processer som ledde till skivomslag och videomaterial.

Dörrarna öppnas kl.18:00.
Längd ca 2 timmar med 15 minuters paus.
Biljetter säljs via NetTicket och StudioTicket
32€ normal
25€ studerande, pensionärer, Ritz medlemmar
