Summer Sibelius 7
During the 2023 summer our museum comes to life on weekends with live music in the Sibelius Hall. With this, we wish to provide a possibility to experience our exhibitions a bit differently. Naturally, you may also have a seat in the concert hall and just enjoy the music.
Summer Sibelius is a collaborative project between the Sibelius Museum and the Turku Arts Academy where music students perform music by Jean Sibelius during short pop-up concerts.
The Summer Sibelius concerts are included in the admission price.
On the third weekend in august we will hear pianist Riika Heikkilä.

Riika Heikkilä studied the piano at Oulu Conservatory between 2015–2022 under Hannu Hirvelä: Now she studies at Turku Arts Academy under Eveliina Kytömäki. As a counterbalance to music studies, Heikkilä has found addictive novels and the Nordic nature.
