ELOKUU ENSEMBLE

Elokuu-ensemble is a Finnish chamber music group with 10 years experience of playing together with passion – members of Elokuu-ensemble have been succesful in several national and international competitions as well.
   The Elokuu-ensemble performs regularly around the year in smaller ensembles and gathers at the end of summer in Southern Ostrobothnia, in the town of Seinäjoki, where they organize a chamber music festival Säveliä Elokuussa (Tunes in August). In 2009 we celebrated the 10 years anniversary of these summer concerts.
