Thursday 01.10.2026 at 6pm Kuopio Music Centre Concert Hall

At 5.30 Atrium
PRE-TALK

Kuopio Symphony Orchestra
Janne Nisonen, conductor
Harmonica Ensemble Sväng

The enchanting phenomenon of harmonica music, an ensemble formed by four virtuosos, blends folk, jazz, classical, and world music into a distinctive, energetic, and delightfully unpredictable whole. The internationally acclaimed group’s virtuosic playing, infectious energy, and quintessentially Kaurismäki‑esque humor make the concert an unforgettable experience. The leading theme of the program is tango, but the musical journey crosses stylistic borders from Balkan rhythms to Sibelius, from polska to Chopin. Expect rhythm, swing, and irresistible joy.

The orchestral arrangements of Sväng’s compositions are crafted by top‑tier masters of their field: Pessi Levanto, Marzi Nyman, Esko Grundström, Aili Järvelä, and Roope Mäenpää.

Duration approx. 1 hour 30 minutes including interval.

The concert is included in the Season Series Ticket and Mini Series Ticket 2.
