A high-quality,
homey experience
for music lovers
Music nourishes the soul in
every way. In the midst of large
concerts, less is often more.
Our new artistic director, Maria Kettunen, has designed a
high-quality music event and
vocal course in Puumala for
all ages. The Sounds of Sai­
maa event will be held for the
fourth time this summer.

parish
The rural parish’s exquisite
timber-beam church reverberates with the fresh
sounds of young string-instrumentalists alongside
the perfected performances of top soloists. Our
hope is to lower the threshold of church-concerts
to attract new friends of classical music.
8–19 July 2015
There is never a dress code for our charming summer parish concerts. With the help of the municipality, parish and our sponsors, we try to keep ticket
prices affordable. The event also has roots in the archipelago community’s shared volunteer work days.
Experience classical music
with top international performers!
Join us and enjoy music!
