There people’s values, the nature and music meet. The LuostoClassic festival brings the world’s top performers out to the Lappish nature to play for people who might not visit a concert hall otherwise. The music embraces you as you lay on a bed of heather, eating blueberries. The concert halls are venues shaped by nature – a slope of a fell, an ice age river and a deep forest pond. At the Festival Clubs the artists and the audience can meet on a personal level and enjoy themselves. At the Luosto Classic, the top performers’ classical music, nature and the intensity of the event have together created a unique experience bringing together travellers, societies and large corporations alike that share the same values.
