Introduction

The festival offers high quality concert experiences at central locations surrounding the Senate Square and historical Helsinki. The neighbourhood's architecturally unique art nouveau style halls, recently renovated cafés and beautiful churches provide an idyllic settings for many characterful concerts.

Traditionally, summertime chamber music festivals have taken place in the countryside, but we want to make sure urban music lovers will get their share of classical music as well. One of our goals is to create concerts that facilitate interaction and communication between the artists and the concertgoers. Every year the festival invites internationally reowned foreign artists to come and perform with front line musicians from Finland in a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere.
