Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival

For two frenetic weeks in July, Kuhmo is a host to a chamber music festival attracting thousands of music lovers. In that forthnight, this town of 8,300 inhabitants echoes to the sound of music against a backcloth of a lake that almost laps the walls of the concert halls in the clear, unbelievable northern light. Music is everywhere, there are concerts from morning to late at night, and people just live for the music.
