Klaus Mäkelä and Julian Rachlin, one of the world’s finest violinists, bring together a group of friends to perform Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat major op. 44 and Johannes Brahms’s String Sextet no. 2 in G major op. 36. 

“Turku has become like a second home to me. I am honoured and happy to make my début at the Turku Music Festival in a variety of roles. Chamber music is a great form of music, the most intimate there is, and it is such a pleasure to share the stage with Klaus and our friends.” – Julian Rachlin
