The story

Korsholm Music Festival in Vaasa/Korsholm

Korsholm Music Festival, founded in 1983 in Vaasa and the surrounding Korsholm archipelago, presents chamber music performances by leading Nordic and international artists across historic concert halls, museums, wooden churches, and rustic archipelago rooms. Now approaching forty-five years of continuous operation, it stages around thirty concerts with more than one hundred artists each summer under artistic director Jan-Erik Gustafsson, appointed in 2023.

Korsholm Music Festival was founded in 1983 as a chamber music event centered on Vaasa and the surrounding Korsholm archipelago on Finland's west coast, and since that first season it has invited leading Nordic and international chamber musicians to perform in an unusually varied set of venues rather than a single dedicated concert hall.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Korsholm Music Festival's use of unusually varied venues, historic concert halls, museums, wooden churches, and rustic archipelago rooms scattered across Vaasa and the surrounding islands, ties each performance to a distinct visual and acoustic setting rather than a single standard concert hall, giving the festival a strong sense of place uncommon among chamber music events

02

The mystery stays covered

Nearly forty-five years of continuous programming under musician-led artistic direction, most recently cellist Jan-Erik Gustafsson since 2023, has built the festival into a substantial chamber music event presenting around thirty concerts and more than one hundred artists each summer
