Dear friends! 👋

🤘 November 23-24, the Strings and Things music festival will take place at two concert venues in Helsinki! This festival showcases performers playing string instruments. 🎸🪕🎻

Our festival focuses on instrumental music, welcoming original compositions and unique arrangements, as well as performers of folk music or traditional string instruments. At this time, we are not considering bands working in the genres of pop, rock, metal, or hip-hop.

We invite professionals, amateurs, and young musicians to participate in the festival—both solo performers and instrumental bands! 🔥

If you play a string instrument and want to join the festival as a performer, please fill out the application form and submit it along with your music or music videos!  

This year we are focusing on acoustic instruments.

Applications will be accepted until October 10, 2024, and all submissions will be reviewed by October 15, 2024.

The most interesting performers will receive an invitation to participate in the festival! 💥
