CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL 2026

Three works, three composers, three centuries, three instrumental combinations and three entirely different sonic worlds.

At the dawn of the nineteenth century, standing at the threshold between Classicism and Romanticism, Weber entrusts some of his most beautiful melodies to the clarinet, lovingly supported by the strings. Approximately one hundred and twenty years later, the Hungarian modernist Béla Bartók, drawing inspiration alternately from the folk traditions of his homeland and the Balkans and from American jazz, invites the clarinet and violin into fiery dialogues, with the piano serving as mediator between them.

Then, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, the celebrated Finnish composer, conductor and pianist Olli Mustonen, feeling the weight of centuries of musical history upon his shoulders, looks toward the future while freely assimilating influences from the past, inevitably filtered through his own unique artistic voice.

Twelve outstanding performers unite in their shared intention of transforming the experience of these three remarkable works into an unforgettable musical journey for the audience.
