 Choreography Israel Galván Tech Director and Sound Pedro Leon Lighting V
 alentin Donaire Stage Manager Balbi Barra Dramaturg Charles Chemin What h
 appens when Georges Bizet's opera Carmen -- a feast of jealous passion an
 d fatal love -- collides with the flamenco visionary from Seville\, Israe
 l Galván? The result is a journey to the very heart of Carmen. Familiar 
 opera arias burn brightly\, yet the result is a classic pulsating in a to
 tally new form\, in which the love story is told by three opera singers\,
  a cantaora and a flamenco dancer. At its side stands a full symphony orc
 hestra\, as Carmen demands -- and\, in an audacious twist\, the acclaimed
  Oulu-based male choir Huutajat! Where Bizet's Carmen is a romantic opera
  of doomed destiny and jealous obsession\, Galván's Carmen becomes a con
 temporary ritual. The tale is dismantled\, inverted and rebuilt through d
 ance\, cry and a multi-layered soundscape. Having reinterpreted classics 
 such as Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring\, Galván approaches these m
 asterpieces in his own style: intimate\, provocative\, veiled by humour\,
  but never diminished. "Everything is veiled in musical exaggeration and 
 fantasy. The performance ends in love -- not the knife\," he sums up. Oul

SUMMARY:Oulu Sinfonia: The Beauty of Incomplete
LOCATION:MADETOJAN SALI\, Leevi Madetojan katu 3\, Oulu
DESCRIPTION:The Beauty of Incomplete SEASON CONCERT IV Thu 8.10. at 18:30 
 Madetoja Hall Vuokko Lahtinen conductor Jennifer Stumm viola Oulu Sinfoni
 a Program: Sofia Gubaidulina: Fairytale Poem Béla Bartók: Viola Concert
 o\, Sz120 --- Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 6 in D minor\, Op. 104 Béla Ba
 rtók found a final flourishing shortly before his death. His Viola Conce
 rto\, a study in neoclassical simplicity\, was left unfinished. Once comp
 leted by Bartók's friends it quickly became a cornerstone of the instrum
 ent's repertoire and one of the landmark works of the century. In Oulu\, 
 it will be performed by American star Jennifer Stumm. Mysticism\, spiritu
 al growth\, sound and energy converge in the music of Sofia Gubaidulina\,
  one of the last century's greatest composers. Her Fairytale Poem (1971) 
 is a richly symbolic musical fable\, easy to relate to: a frustrated past
 el crayon contemplates its untapped talents as the end draws near. Conduc
 tor Vuokko Lahtinen's graduation concert culminates with Jean Sibelius's 
 sixth symphony\, a refreshing counterpoint to 1920s modernism. Head start
  at Restaurant Preludi at 18.00. Discussion of the forthcoming concert. O

SUMMARY:OMJ Jazz & Etno: Julien Tassin & Heikki Ruokangas
LOCATION:Aaltosiilo\, Alvar Aallon katu 5\, Oulu
DESCRIPTION:OMJ Jazz & Etno: Julien Tassin & Heikki Ruokangas Wed 7.10.202
 6 at 20:00 AaltoSiilo Alvar Aallon katu 5\, 90520 Oulu Duration approx. 1
  h (no intermission) Out of a mutual love of spontaneousness and raw emot
 ions\, Belgian guitarist Julien Tassin and Finnish guitarist Heikki Ruoka
 ngas decided to start creating music together. As two guitars aiming to s
 ound like one. The two guitarists met while they were both signed to the 
 Australian avant-garde label Ramble Records. As they talked on Instagram\
 , they wanted to play music together\, so they travelled --- Julien to Fi
 nland and Heikki to Belgium --- bringing different cultures and influence
 s together while also realizing they had a lot in common. Both studied cl
 assical music and traditional jazz before entering the improvisational mu
 sic world\, and both share a similar musical vision. In their music\, the
  concrete and the abstract can co-exist at any moment. Melodic lines are 
 combined with atonal sounds\, creating an organic and exploratory approac
 h to the acoustic guitar. Just like life itself\, the music of this duo c
 ontains both beauty and beast. And\, like the musicians themselves\, it a
 lso carries a playful sense of humor. Their travels led to the compositio
 n of a new repertoire\, which was recorded somewhere between Belgium and 
 Finland. This material became the duo's debut album\, Behind The Mask\, r
 eleased in August 2025. To celebrate the release\, the duo embarked on a 
 17-concert tour across five countries. The final concert of the tour was 
 recorded and will be released as Live In Brussels in May 2026 on the Amer
 ican label zOaR\, run by Elliott Sharp. The tour also expanded the duo's 
 musical language into new territory. Their performances began incorporati
 ng additional instruments such as mandolin and bells\, along with various
  sonic accessories. The result captures a moment of rare intensity\, wher
 e the two musicians push both their instruments and repertoire further th
 an ever before. Their distinctive approach to the guitar duo format reach
 es new heights through the raw energy and immediacy of live performance. 
 Heikki Ruokangas is a guitarist and composer from Oulu\, Finland. He has 
 appeared on more than twenty albums and compilation recordings and has pe
 rformed extensively in Finland\, the United States\, and throughout Europ
 e. He is considered one of the most prolific and internationally active F
 innish guitarists of his generation\, with releases published worldwide b
 y several record labels. The dialogue between beauty and ugliness in melo
 dy lies at the heart of Ruokangas's musical expression\, with melodicism 
 always at its center. His musical storytelling combines the longing of th
 e Finnish waltz\, the starkness of delta blues\, the deep echoes of Weste
 rn-style twang guitar\, and the ecstasy of jazz. Together\, these element
 s form Ruokangas's vision of a slightly askew\, distinctly Finnish sonic 
 landscape. Ruokangas also challenges preconceived attitudes toward contem
 porary art by breaking down the elitist and inaccessible image often asso
 ciated with it. With a unique and unmistakable approach to music and his 
 instrument\, Julien Tassin is a truly distinctive guitarist. Using unconv
 entional techniques and original tunings\, he creates music that blends e
 lements of blues\, jazz\, classical\, Oriental\, and African traditions. 
 The result is music born from openness and freedom. To date\, Tassin has 
 released twelve albums under his own name\, exploring formats ranging fro
 m intimate solo performances to dynamic quartet settings. Over the years\
 , he has built a substantial and coherent body of work shaped by spontane
 ity\, natural expression\, and a constant search for what feels essential
 . This immediacy is present in both his compositions and improvisations\,
  where instinct and depth unfold with clarity and restraint. He has broug
 ht these various projects to some of Belgium's most renowned venues and t
 oured extensively across Europe. In recent years\, his creative path has 
 continued to expand through collaborations with international musicians f
 rom diverse musical backgrounds\, further enriching and broadening his ar
 tistic voice. Learn more about the Jazz & Ethno concert series of Oulu Mu

 u Duration approx. 1\,5 h (including intermission) Senni Heiskanen & Raun
 o Nieminen: Kerman vaskikanteleet Senni Heiskanen and Rauno Nieminen have
  been performing together for seven years. Their collaboration began with
  the Saarijärvi kantele tradition\, but in recent years their music has 
 increasingly focused on a rarer and more archaic instrument: the five-str
 ing brass kantele. The brass strings of the brass kantele give the instru
 ment a distinctive voice---deep\, bright\, and richly nuanced. The duo's 
 repertoire is based primarily on kantele melodies collected over a centur
 y ago from the regions of Savo\, Karelia\, and Northern Ostrobothnia. Sty
 listically informed improvisation is also an essential part of their perf
 ormances. These melodies represent the oldest layer of the Finnish kantel
 e tradition\, where an entire musical world unfolds from just a handful o
 f notes. In the summer of 2026\, the duo released their album The Brass K
 anteles of Kerma\, bringing renewed attention to this unique instrument a
 nd its centuries-old tradition. "The whole range of their melodies is con
 fined to these five notes\; with these five notes they play\, dance\, and
  sing their poems. It is easy to imagine that the effect of such music mu
 st be melancholy and monotonous\, and equally easy to suppose that it cou
 ld not be improved until they abandoned this instrument. Yet savage and h
 alf-civilized peoples are as moderate in their intellectual pleasures as 
 they are in their physical ones." --- Giuseppe Acerbi\, 1802 Learn more a

  Aeon (Finnish premiere) Bryce Dessner: Trembling Earth (Finnish premiere
 ) --- Johanna Ruotsalainen: The Failing Landscape (World premiere) Ellen 
 Reid: Earth Between Oceans (Finnish premiere) Tectonic plates rumble and 
 the bedrock whispers in the concert that is part of the Ostrobothnian Con
 temporary Music Festival. The American composer Ellen Reid's new work Ear
 th Between Oceans races across the U.S. coastline. Combining choir\, orch
 estra and field recordings\, the piece is driven by the power of the four
  classical elements\, leaving an unavoidable question lingering in the ai
 r: how much longer can this continue? Bryce Dessner\, guitarist of The Na
 tional and composer\, has crafted concertos for the world's greatest solo
 ists. His Trembling Earth\, performed in London\, Sydney and Berlin\, was
  born for the uniquely poetic expressiveness of cellist Anastasia Kobekin
 a. The lyrical\, at times haunting dialogue between cello and orchestra i
 s a touching tribute to Mother Nature's boundless resilience. Croatian co
 mposer Mirela Ivi?evi? hammers at our very notions of music with her art:
  it snarls\, screams\, curses and laments. Her latest work remains under 
 wraps\, but all signs suggest a shock treatment for ears well-seasoned in
  tradition. Head start at Restaurant Preludi at 18.00. Discussion of the 
 forthcoming concert. Oulu is the European Capital of Culture in 2026. Tre

 ezzo-soprano Markus Nykänen tenor Matti Turunen bass Jyväskylän oopper
 akuoro Jyväskylä Sinfonia Oulu Sinfonia Program: Giuseppe Verdi: Requie
 m The colossal success of Aida elevated Giuseppe Verdi to the status of a
  globally admired opera composer. Upon hearing of the death of the writer
  Alessandro Manzoni\, he ventured into uncharted territory and composed t
 he great Messa da Requiem. The liturgical form did not constrain his dram
 atic instinct\; on the contrary. The overwhelming pathos of the Requiem s
 trikes straight at the heart -- even more piercingly than any of Verdi's 
 operas. Through its vast choral passages\, moving arias and majestic inte
 rludes\, the work lifts the veil between life and death with heartrending
  intensity\, yet offers profound solace. Head start at Restaurant Preludi
  at 18.00. Discussion of the forthcoming concert. Oulu is the European Ca
 pital of Culture in 2026. Verdi's Requiem is part of the Oulu2026 cultura
 l programme and the cultural climate change initiative. *** Duration abou

 astoral Symphony\, a celebration of honour\, gentleness and Mother Nature
  herself. Head start at Restaurant Preludi at 18.00. Discussion of the fo
