The autumn program of the OMJ Jazz & Etno concert series combines tradition with modernity. The autumn season of the year-round Oulu Music Festival Foundation's concert series will include gems of jazz and folk music from both Finland and abroad.
The year-round concert series OMJ Jazz & Etno, produced by the Oulu Music Festival Foundation, fills autumn with folk music and jazz. In the autumn of 2023, twelve concerts will take you from pelimanni dance music to jazz and even to digital beats.
