Hortus Musicus concert is cancelled

04.05.2023

Andres Mustonen and Hortus Musicus’ concert on July 29, 2023, has been cancelled, as we do not accept collaboration with Russia from our artists in the current world situation. The Korsholm Music Festival has closely followed the development of the situation in Estonia, where Andres Mustonen's concert and festival visits to Russia have come to the fore. The focus has been on Mustonen’s Russian collaborators and their connections with the Kremlin administration.

 

Those who have already bought tickets to the concert will get their money back and we have contacted them. We regret the situation.

Live concerts & Live streams

27.07.2020

This year, our festival is mostly virtual, but fortunateluy the Corona situation in Ostrobothnia and Finland is under control and we are able to invite a limited amount of audience to our concerts. The number of people allowed at the different concert sites varies from 20 seats to a couple of hundred. We still ask the audience to note that the concerts are filmed with a fairly large apparatus and several cameras and this can affect the visibility and make it difficult to concentrate on the music.

 

If you want to guarantee your seat at the concerts, please book at info@korsholmmusicfestival.fi or by calling us on 040 833 2022. We have no tickets for the concerts, except for Laihia Church, where tickets cost 20 € and are for sale via www.netticket.fi. Programmes are for sale at each concert for 10 €.

 

Note! Check out our info regarding Corona security at our concerts here.
