Chamber music in Karhusaari

September 26-28, 2025

SINEBRYCHOFF MANOR HOUSE
Karhusaarenpiha 5, 02100 Espoo

The beautifully restored Sinebrychoff Villa on Karhusaari island will be filled with music that perfectly fits the setting. The weekend-long chamber music event will feature a stellar line-up of musicians, including a Pleyel grand piano borrowed from Aapo Häkkinen in 1843 - the same one Frédéric Chopin played in his day. The concerts will include key piano works by Chopin, a deep dive into the works of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn and unforgettable works by Franz Schubert. Find out more about the concerts below!

In between concerts, you can explore the villa and enjoy the special atmosphere of Karhusaari.
