16 Jul 2022 OUR FESTIVAL in just one week!

Dear Festival guest,

welcome to Our Festival to observe the plethora of things we have on loan!

Musical loans have always fascinated us. Often in rehearsals someone joyfully shouts out when noticing the composer has been to one of their colleagues’ idea stashes. Sometimes a musical loan is taken as a compliment, sometimes the loaner gets in trouble with copyright breaches and sometimes cultural loans can be hurtful appropriation, even stealing. When we’re planning concert programs we also borrow ideas and productions, modifying them to work for our purposes.

When we were pondering on all the things on loan our thoughts also went towards loaned instruments, which are a prerequisite to make music for us and numerous colleagues. We also wondered if supporting culture could be thought of as a loan that’s paid back in the form of art in time. Our Festival doens’t come together without numerous loans either, as all of our one-of-a-kind venues are simply on a loan and our production would quickly become desperate if we didn’t have cars for loan, for example.

Once again Our Festival, with Kallio-kuninkala as it’s heart, can bid event-longing guests welcome to enjoy music, talks, fabulous artists and unique venues. We are super-duper-happy to have great musicians with us, including the Grammy- and Pulitzer-winning Caroline Shaw and the great, also Grammy-winner So Percussion! See you soon! Check out the festival programme from HERE!

Thankful and happy for all this,
Kamus, also known as Terhi, Jukka, Jussi and Petja

Kamus is a perfectly blended group, and the brilliance of each individual shines through

Helsingin Sanomat

The Kamus Quartet is one of the foremost Nordic ensembles and continues to delight audiences with a strong and distinctive voice. Since 2002 the quartet has become widely known for its versatile artistic programming, open-minded attitude and masterful range of different performance styles from early classical to the very latest contemporary music. Naturally they excel in Finnish repertoire from Sibelius to Saariaho and have premiered a vast number of contemporary string quartets. The quartet's recent projects include "Beethoven Effect", a complete cycle of the Beethoven quartets over 5 days and a forthcoming recording.

In recent years Kamus has toured Belgium, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.  Their recordings have been praised widely and they have won the Emma Prize for best classical music recording in Finland and the prize for best classical music album by the Finnish National Broadcasting Company.

An active force in Finnish musical life, the Kamus Quartet has developed new ways of presenting chamber music with its acclaimed concert series TeemaHelsinki, seeking out new urban spaces for classical music and highlighting the connection between music and the surroundings. They have also launched a project to help enrich the musical life of rural parts of Finland and are Artistic Directors of the internationally acclaimed and awarded Meidän Festivaali (Our Festival).

Like all great stories, the story of Kamus Quartet is love-themed. The year is 2002. A young couple from Kuopio, Terhi Paldanius and Jukka Untamala, have just moved to Helsinki, and begun their studies at the Sibelius Academy. Then they face the first crisis of their married life: The two violinists realise that two is not company enough. The greatest music in the world is composed for a string quartet - not for two violins. They find themselves in a curious situation: The couple has to find a third and a fourth wheel for their relationship.

As luck would have it, two young men with basketball background, who had since developed a keen interest in music, had also started their studies at the Sibelius Academy, and were looking for something to occupy themselves with. Jussi Tuhkanen, a viola-player from Savonlinna, and Petja Kainulainen, a cellist from Lahti, completed this love story, and the love-child was given the name Kamus.

The quartet begun their studies at the Sibelius Academy with Risto Fredriksson. Later they travelled to England to learn from violinist Hugh Maguire, and studied at the European Chamber Music Academy, ECMA, with Hatto Beyer and Johannes Meissl.

Currently the quartet shares 12 years of common history.

Kamus is a fine name, presumably with profound connotations. What is the story behind the name?

Petja: I came up with the name after a long and strenuous process. I had suggested a lot of stupid names, along the lines of Warthog, and then one morning I woke up with this name in my head. To my knowledge, it means absolutely nothing.

So there really is no allusion to, for example, Albert Camus?

Terhi: An allusion to Camus, but not Albert. In fact we are waiting for the day when the Camus Cognac will be spelt with a 'k'. On that day our work is done.

Does each of you have a specific role in the quartet?

Jussi: For the most part of our time together, Terhi has \u2013 willingly or not \u2013 been in charge of some amount of discipline. We can all still clearly remember the one rehearsal we had without her. That was the biggest waste of time ever.

What kind of changes has your quartet gone through?

Jukka: We've gone through everything a string quartet can go through, except for change of personnel. We don't swing that way. We've studied hard and extensively. Afterwards we needed a few years to take it all in, until we found our own style.

What is life like in a string quartet?

Petja: Well we had a FIFA phase, during which we played a lot of Xbox at Terhi's and Tillo's. Other phases were the exciting early stage, studying in England with the wonderful Hugh Maguire, and a hard-working phase at the European Chamber Music Academy.

Who's Tillo?

Everybody: Tillo is Jukka.

Terhi: Guess you might say Tillo's nickname is Jukka.

Any other nicknames?

Terhi: Quite a few, not all of them print worthy.

Jussi: I'm Jusba, Tuhkis or Alpo.

What else have you done besides playing in a quartet?

Jukka: Jussi dabbled with tennis for a while, but at his second practice he fell in the shower and broke a bone in his hand. That resulted in the longest practice brake in the history of the quartet.

What is your mission for the quartet?

Terhi: We consider it important to broaden Finnish musical life with string quartet culture, which tends to almost disappear during winter-time outside of the big festivals. Furthermore we want to take music to remote and unordinary places.

Where would you like to have a chance to play?

Jussi: The place doesn't matter. It's always great to play whether it is an old plane hangar at Suomenlinna or a nursing home in Germany. Well, okay, it would be great to play the Wigmore hall in London. The concert would run for hours and would consist of all the best music ever written, and the best music yet to be written.

What is music for?

Petja: Understanding.

Jukka: Life.
