Kamarikesä 2026: Viinilehti X Kamarikesä

Last year’s successful opening of Kamarikesä, the wine concert, will continue this year! The concert will examine how wine pairings can affect the experience of music, and the audience is invited to explore both new and familiar repertoire from a new perspective.

This time, the wines will be paired with two works: Johannes Brahms’ beloved Clarinet Quintet and Leevi Räsänen’s new commissioned work. Räsänen’s work will be heard twice during the evening, each time paired with a different wine. This offers an opportunity to examine how the same music appears in two different contexts. 

Leevi Räsänen’s new string quartet features the sparkle and jingle of metal. The evening concludes with a gem from Johannes Brahms’ late period, the Clarinet Quintet, Op. 115. The quintet is known for its dark tones, brightly glowing melancholy, lush textures, and seamless instrumentation. 

The concert features, among others, one of the artists selected for Kamarikesä’s patron program, violist Ellen Herler, cellist Alli Mankkinen, who recently reached the finals of the Turku Cello Competition, and violinist Fredrika Mikkola, who studies at the Paris Conservatory.
