OPUS 26 - piano festival

Description

For almost two decades the classical piano students at DJM have organised an annual piano festival, OPUS Festival, celebrating piano playing in all its guises. The festival lasts a full week, with a concert every evening (at 19.30), in the weekend in the afternoon (at 14:00), as well as rehearsals and workshops during the day. DJM's students curate the programmes and play at all the concerts, and every year guests from other conservatoires are also invited to play at the concerts. During the day, the teachers of DJM and the guests teach one another's students. In 2026 OPUS receives visitors from Vilnius, Lithuania, and Helsinki, Finland. Three students will come from Vilnius and three from Helsinki. In addition, the professors Aleksandra Zvirblyte from Vilnius and Tuija Hakkial and Eero Heinonen from Helsinki will attend. Heinonen plays solo in the 2nd part of the concert on Sunday afternoon. (A detailed programme for each concert will follow shortly.) The concert is free, and you can just turn up without a ticket. Arrive in good time.
