The story

Rauma Festivo in Rauma

Rauma Festivo stages chamber music across five days inside Old Rauma, the largest wooden town centre in the Nordic countries, using historic churches, a former chapel and normally closed private gardens as venues. Founded by Ralf Gothóni and now led by Siljamari Heikinheimo, it has run for four decades. It suits travelers wanting serious chamber music paired with a UNESCO-listed wooden townscape.

Rauma Festivo is a five-day chamber music festival set inside Old Rauma, the largest wooden town centre in the Nordic countries and a UNESCO World Heritage site, using the historic town's churches, chapels and private courtyards as concert venues rather than a single dedicated hall.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Rauma Festivo's use of Old Rauma itself, a UNESCO World Heritage wooden town centre, as its concert venue network is what separates it from festivals staged in purpose-built halls: performances happen in a former chapel prized for acoustics, a medieval Franciscan-built church, and usually closed private gardens opened specifically for the festival

02

The mystery stays covered

That last detail, access to gardens not normally open to the public, gives visitors a rare view into the town's private architecture alongside the music

03

The city starts moving

Its four-decade run under founder Ralf Gothóni and now artistic director Siljamari Heikinheimo gives it sustained institutional depth among Finland's chamber festivals
