| Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival July 11—24, 2010 Kaija Saariaho, Krzysztof Penderecki, Sebastian Fagerlund, Viktor Ullman (with his absolute masterpiece, The King of Atlantis), Carlo Gesualdo, Louis Armstrong — the poetess of sound, the nonconformist, the young and daring, the courageous, the dangerous and the best voice of the century, have all accepted to honour with their presence and in their own way the two weeks ceremony of chamber music. Their ambassadors, our star performers, all and each one of them will be there to make sure that the best music-making in the whole world is at the rendez-vous for this fortnight of music and arts. And if you are in love with the magic of summer and the white nights you will find it outside the concert halls on the shores of the lake Lammasjärvi. You might not meet the beautiful sirens living in the lake though... Even they have a part to sing in the festival together with 150 musicians, film makers, dancers, actors, poets, and mechanical pianos. Do not miss it because it will never happen again in the same way under the same stars. Welcome to the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival! Vladimir Mendelssohn |
