The free event will take place around the Library Bridge and the banks of the Aura River as part of the Turku Music Festival programme.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Aurajoki soi<\/em> is a new event concept combining Turku Music Festival\u2019s Joki soi<\/em> initiative with Sulasol\u2019s long-standing Aurajoella raikaa<\/em> tradition into one large-scale choir celebration. The event is organised as part of the Turku Music Festival, taking place from 1\u201321 August 2026, in collaboration with the Southwest Finland district of Sulasol.<\/p>\n

The open and free event transforms the Aura River into a living, resonating stage where music, community, and urban space come together. The Aura River Resonates is supported by the Finnish Cultural Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe founding story of the Finnish Cultural Foundation carries a beautiful idea of civil society: people donating to support art and culture. The Aura River Resonates reminds us that art lives through reciprocity \u2013 it is born from people\u2019s support and returns to the people. Echoing the traditional motto of the University of Turku, the event is a gift of free art to a free people. It is an open celebration where song fills the city\u2019s shared spaces,<\/em>\u201d says Jussi Merikanto,<\/strong> CEO of Turku Music Festival.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”CHORAL SINGING SPREADS FROM THE LIBRARY BRIDGE ACROSS THE CITY CENTRE” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” css=””][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The evening\u2019s main programme takes place on the Library Bridge from 7:00 PM to 7:45 PM. The bridge serves as the event\u2019s central performance stage, featuring both the choirs\u2019 own performances and collaborative pieces. Participating ensembles include the YL Male Voice Choir, Laulun Yst\u00e4v\u00e4t, Auralia<\/strong> and Chorus Iucundus<\/strong>. Throughout the evening, the audience will also have the opportunity to take part in community singing.<\/p>\n

The event will be hosted by Pasi Hy\u00f6kki,<\/strong> Artistic Director of the YL Male Voice Choir, together with Nikke Isom\u00f6tt\u00f6nen<\/strong>, Artistic Director of Laulun Yst\u00e4v\u00e4t.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is wonderful to bring choral singing into the heart of the city during the Night of the Arts. Singing is one of the most communal forms of art, and it is easy for everyone to take part. We want to invite people of all ages to experience the joy of singing together, whether as performers or listeners,\u201d<\/em> says Isom\u00f6tt\u00f6nen.<\/p>\n

After the main concert, the programme continues on the Library Bridge every hour from 8:00 PM to 11:15 PM with short choir performances. As dusk falls, the Aura River and the Library Bridge will be illuminated as part of the event experience. At the same time, the choirs will spread across the city for the traditional Aurajoella raikaa<\/em> restaurant walk, beginning at 8:00 PM.<\/p>\n

The YL Male Voice Choir will continue from the Library Bridge to Martin\u2019s Church, where the choir\u2019s concert Farewell, Friends<\/a> will be performed at 9:00 PM as part of the Turku Music Festival programme. Tickets are required for the concert.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”PRE-EVENTS BEGIN THE NIGHT OF THE ARTS ALREADY IN THE AFTERNOON” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left” css=””][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The Night of the Arts programme begins already in the afternoon at the Market Square, where the choirs will hold an open rehearsal.
