A word from the Artistic Director
Welcome to Tampere Guitar Festival! We are excited to be able to hold the festival in the normal way. It’s now finally possible to organise music events and communicate face-to-face through music.
Many interesting artists will be arriving in Tampere in June. Among them are Italian Carlo Marchione and Swedish Jacob Kellermann who both are performing for the first time in Finland.
Carlo Marchione is one of the most valued classical guitarists and also a sought-after teacher. He is also known as a brilliant arranger. Music by Telemann, Schumann and Schubert among others will be heard in his concert. With his versatility, Jacob Kellermann represents the younger generation of guitarists. He will be performing together with violist Göran Fröst. The Finnish premiere of Tommie Haglund’s Beyond Farewell, which was composed in memory of Julian Bream, will be heard at the concert. Both Marchione and Kellermann will be lecturing and holding master classes during their visit.
Jukka Orma, who has played in Sielun Veljet and Hassisen kone, will give a club concert at G Livelab Tampere. Together with his band, Orma will perform new versions of well-known Finnish tango songs from his album, Argentiinan Pusta, which was released last December.
The last few years have been challenging for all of us. Unfortunately, new threats and wrong-doings have become realities in Europe. For these reasons, I especially now hope that we will appreciate free communication and the possibility to gather together to enjoy music.
Let us find joy in freedom!
Otto Tolonen, Artistic Director
