In August, the streets of Rauma will be repleted with most beautiful sounds of classical music. It is time for Festivo again. Rauma Festivo is a most anticipated Chamber Music Festival held annually in Rauma, on the southwest coast of Finland. This summer’s concert series – the 27th annual – will showcase performers from Finland and abroad, under the artistic direction of the renowned violinist Mark Gothoni. Festivo proudly celebrates 27 years of enthralling listeners with chamber music, bringing music alive with innovation and grace. The enchanting setting of Old Rauma creates part of the spell. This summer, Festivo’s concerts resonate with the life of seaside villas. Traditionally, the music takes over the streets of Rauma, where a kaleidoscope of musicians delights the passers-by. The intimacy of this environment pays homage to the memories of local fiddler Onni Karsten and local accordionist Aarne Elo, both considered as something of a maverick. And at Festival Café Sali, a daily musical matinee offers talented amateur and professional musicians an opportunity to perform together. Rauma Festivo is a local event without borders. In a town of short distances, music is right round the corner. With a spontaneous and passionate festival in the offing, both the audience and the artists will experience a musical event like none other.
