The 20th Oulu Music Festival was organized in March 2010, and included 32 concerts altogether. The program was divided in two parts, one of them being “JAZZhouse”, a co-production of Oulu Music Festival and EU-project Music On Top.
One of the highlights of JAZZhouse was the opening concert “Charlie Parker with Strings”, with saxophonist Jukka Perko performing together with Oulu Symphony Orchestra. In addition to jazz concerts, the diverse festival program included chamber music, symphony concerts and church concerts as well as a children’s concert.
