Tampere Biennale, a festival of modern art music, is held this year on 15–19 April. Concerts are held in music and culture venues across the city and even on Pyynikki ridge in the ‘Magic Path’ performances.

The theme for this anniversary year is Roots, highlighting the voices of composers resident in Finland, the diversity of contemporary music and the ability of art to mirror the world.

Read the foreword by Minna Leinonen, Artistic Director of the Tampere Biennale 2026.

Composer Pilar Miralles reflects in her blog post on putting down roots, leaving and remembering. Miralles’s work they depart us quietly will receive its world première in the walking concert by Malla Vivolin and Ella Mettänen.
