Kuhmo Chamber Music 2025

Kuhmo in Eastern Finland is a paradise of music during the annual Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival. Music can be heard from early morning events till late evening concerts. But is not only the music that matters in Kuhmo. The combinations of culture and pure nature make Kuhmo very special. The Austrian music magazine Die Festspiele has said that the strengths of the Festival are “blue lakes, white nights, cosy atmosphere and unique music”.

The 55th Kuhmo Chamber Music will take place from 13th to 26th July 2025. The theme of the summer will be “the Scandinavian Utopia”. We will have the opportunity to hear lots of music from the Nordic countries, not forgetting central Europe, of course, and our line-up of performers will focus on artists from across the Nordic region. The programme will also feature a variety of thought-provoking perspectives on environmental concerns. The number of concerts will be around 60, 4–5 per day.

The concerts will be held in three wonderful wooden venues – in Kuhmo’s beautiful old church (built in 1816), at the Kuhmo Arts Centre (built in 1993) and in the Tuupala School (2018). The full programme and list of performers, around 100 international artists, will be published in January 2025.

Don’t miss Kuhmo – the world capital of chamber music!
