Oulu Music Festival 2016

In March 2016 the theme of Oulu Music Festival was to bring light to the dark winter evenings. Ricky Tick Big Band & Julkinen Sana gave an energetic start to the festival, and the final concert was the masterful St John Passion by Bach.

Between these two concerts, the program offered a series of chamber music concerts, dance, aerial acrobatics, folk music, symphony concerts and jazz. Rajaton, a famous Finnish vocal ensemble performed together with Oulu Symphony Orchestra in a Beatles-themed concert led by Jaakko Kuusisto, and also in a children’s concert, singing old and new Finnish children’s songs.
