About the festival
Marvels of new music for new audiences! Tampere Biennale has served as a forum for new Finnish concert music since 1986. Alongside world premières, the concerts also highlight works that are performed less frequently.
The venues of Tampere Biennale include concert halls and cultural spaces across the city. Every other April, the festival brings together composers from Finland and those living in Finland, as well as performers of new music.
