BAROKKI KUOPIO - Finland
BarokkiKuopio - Early music festival in the heart of Finnish lakeland
BarokkiKuopio focuses on early music in all its glory. Our approach is rooted in traditional early music performed with period instruments, though we also use all kinds of inventive, imaginative instruments and approaches. We also explore using period instruments to perform a wide variety of different musical genres, be it traditional early music, classical music from other eras or greatest hits from the 1980's.
In all our concerts we strive to find the essential spirit, style and message of the music at hand and aim to bring the audience the best possible performance from both traditional and sometimes distinctly untraditional perspectives.
BarokkiKuopio's artistic director is harpsichordist and conductor Matias Häkkinen, who also leads the festivals main partner and orchestra-in-residence Ensemble Nylandia and programs Nylandia's Café Barock concert series. Our programmes include the very best of Finnish early music performers, as well as internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles. BarokkiKuopio has been held in mid-July in Kuopio, eastern Finland since 2005.
The theme of the festival changes annually. In 2024, sparks are sure to fly with our theme of electricity / glamour! Previous years themes include nature / character (2023), feeling / sensation (2022) and house / economy (2021).
