Lumo Quintet

Lumo Quintet is a woodwind quintet formed in Helsinki, Finland, by young professional musicians who care deeply about chamber music as an art form. The ensemble's vision is to combine the unique colors of Nordic and Baltic music with the traditional wind quintet repertoire to inspire their listeners. The group won the 2nd prize at the prestigious 13th Lyon International Chamber Music Competition shortly after being founded. They also received the special prize for the best interpretation of the Silvestrini Wind Quintet, awarded by Gilles Silvestrini himself. Within the past year Lumo Quintet has been featured at the Berlioz Festival, the Finnish National Opera chamber music series, Lapinlahden Lähde Concert Series and Excellence in Finland Olympic Committee Symposium. In the coming months they will perform at the Crusell Festival, Valencia Music Festival and as soloists with the Finnish National Opera Orchestra at the Urkuyö & Aaria Festival. The quintet has received an award from the Mikko Frank Foundation.
