Опубликована программа фестиваля классической музыки в финском городе Кухмо Kuhmo Chamber Music, который пройдет с 10 по 23 июля 2016 года.
How on earth do you choose which of the 70+ Kuhmo Chamber Music events to go to? Once again we have drawn up a list of recommendations to help you – especially if you are a first-timer – find something suitable. The list covers the whole of the two-week festival.
There is so much to choose from at Kuhmo Chamber Music! Our list begins with the first concert, on the City theme, on 10.7. and ends with Astor Piazzolla’s opera Maria de Buenos Aires on the last day, 23.7. In between you will find everything from the complete Shostakovich string quartet cycle to an absolute Kuhmo “must” each summer: Franz Schubert’s Trout Quintet. This summer we also recommend a whole day, Monday 11.7. – a profound drama lasting from morning till night. We have omitted from the list any concerts that were already sold out on 1.4.
