The Aurora series continues in spring 2026!
Come and experience the rich and colorful world of a wind quintet, from romanticism to sea breezes! The concert takes the listener from the thoroughly romantic Klughardt to Holst’s rare masterpiece, Sibelius’ beloved nature paintings, and Malcolm Arnold’s energetic sea shanties. The program combines a rarely heard classical piece, a historically interesting premiere arrangement, and British rhythmic vitality. This concert offers both deep lyricism and fresh joy, an experience that will appeal to chamber music lovers and new listeners alike.
Please note the following:
The location of the concert hall has changed. The new location is on the 5th floor of the Factory building at Art House Turku. All concerts will now begin at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.
The capacity of the new hall is significantly smaller. Therefore, we ask all participants to register for the concert in advance so that we can ensure that there is enough room for everyone who wants to attend. You can register via the link above or at mike.valtonen@tmj.fi.
