In August, Åland will be transformed into an oasis for music music lovers when the Katrina Cultural Association invites you to a 5-day festival of chamber music with 15 events at 9 different venues.
This year's theme is inspired by H.C. Andersen's classic ‘The Little Mermaid’ and the festival captures composers who have been inspired by the sea. From storm and calm to the silence beneath the surface.
This year's festival composer Minna Leinonen has a strong commitment to land and sea, which is evident in her music-making. The festival's artistic director Cecilia Zilliacus, in turn, takes the audience on a musical water voyage from classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions.
