Barokki Soi Music Festival
Barokki Soi is a music festival organized at springtime in Kajaani. As the name of the event suggests, music from the Baroque period is performed at the concerts.
It is not very often possible to hear baroque music, but a special Barokki Soi event is organized in Kajaani annually at springtime. The festival was held for the first time as part of the 360 anniversary of the city of Kajaani in 2011.
At the Baroque Soi concerts, you may experience music and instruments from centuries ago. The festival always offers listeners the best in their field.
