About This Performance
From a country of born explorers, of endless days and nights, and colorful folklore, comes a Festival of music incredibly rich in imagery, emotion, and invention. The music of Finland lives in the present as well as the country's storied past, and CMS welcomes a host of Finland's most exciting musicians as collaborators in imaginative programs that will be heard nowhere but on CMS stages.
