Outi Tarkiainen: Chamber music

10.04.2026

Outi Tarkiainen (born 1985) is one of the new generation of composers whose work bears witness to the world around it and whose music engages audiences while advancing the art form without compromise. ‘I see music as a force of nature that can flood over a person and even change entire destinies,’ she has said.

With the acquisition of Uusinta Publishing catalogue, Fennica Gehrman is republishing some of Tarkiainen’s chamber music works.
