The story

Music by the Sea Inkoo in Inkoo

Music by the Sea stages chamber concerts in Inkoo's medieval church each June under artistic director Emil Holmström, mixing international and Finnish musicians, a free outdoor Jazz in the Square concert, a children's programme and closing jam sessions at the festival club. It suits travelers wanting serious chamber music paired with an unhurried small coastal-town setting rather than a large city festival.

Music by the Sea, known locally as Musik vid havet or Meri ja musiikki, brings top-tier chamber music to Inkoo each June, a small coastal municipality in Western Uusimaa whose medieval church and maritime setting anchor the festival's identity.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival pairs internationally touring chamber musicians with an intimate coastal setting, Inkoo's medieval church, rather than the urban concert halls most comparable chamber festivals use, giving performances distinctive acoustics tied to centuries-old stone architecture right by the sea

02

The mystery stays covered

Its free Jazz in the Square concert opens the event to a broader local audience beyond the ticketed chamber programme, a deliberate accessibility choice not every chamber festival makes

03

The city starts moving

Closing each edition with an informal artists' jam session at the festival club blurs the boundary between formal recital and relaxed after-hours music-making in a way larger festivals rarely replicate
