The story

Crusell Music Festival in Uusikaupunki

Crusell Music Festival has run in Uusikaupunki each summer since 1982, honoring clarinetist-composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell with woodwind-focused chamber concerts and masterclasses in flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon. Visiting professionals both perform and teach during the same week, giving the festival a working, hands-on character. It suits travelers with a specific interest in woodwind music rather than general orchestral programming.

Crusell Music Festival honors Bernhard Henrik Crusell, the clarinetist and composer born in Uusikaupunki in 1775, whose clarinet concertos remain his best-known works and give the festival its instrumental focus on woodwind music.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Crusell's defining trait is its narrow, sustained focus on woodwind repertoire, specifically honoring clarinetist-composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell, rather than the general classical programming most summer chamber festivals offer, giving woodwind specialists a rare concentrated week built around their own instruments

02

The mystery stays covered

Running masterclasses in flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon alongside public concerts in the same week lets visitors watch professional teaching and performance happen side by side rather than attending concerts alone

03

The city starts moving

Its four-decade run in a small coastal town, rather than a major city, ties Uusikaupunki's identity directly to Crusell's historical legacy as an early internationally significant Finnish composer
