Video: Peek inside Turku's new music centre
Fuuga opens to the public in late October, bringing a new concert venue and public space to the banks of the Aura River.
A new, expansive music center named Fuuga is set to open in Turku on October 26th. The 90 million euro project has been in the works since 2020 and is poised to welcome its inaugural visitors. The Finnish word for 'fugue' inspired the name Fuuga, reflecting the musical concept of intertwined voices around a central melody. The centerpiece of the building is the main concert hall, which can host around 1,300 attendees.
Adjacent to this is a smaller hall, Ateljee, seating 300 people. Beyond being a concert venue, Fuuga aims to be a multifaceted cultural hub. Its restaurant and rooftop terrace offer stunning views of the Aura River, and visitors can enter without purchasing a concert ticket or dining at the restaurant. Turku Mayor Piia Elo emphasizes that the space is for the benefit of all city residents, not just concertgoers.
The interest in the new venue is high, with over 80 percent of tickets for the autumn program already sold out.
