Established in 1973, the centre grew out of the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival, which began in 1970 and continues to run concurrently with many events held at the centre. The building itself was designed by architect Erkki Helamaa and opened in 1984. It houses a main concert hall seating approximately 400 people, known for its excellent acoustics. The centre serves not only as a performance space but also as an educational hub offering courses and masterclasses throughout the year. Its location within the small town of Kuhmo contributes to a unique atmosphere fostering close interaction between artists and audiences.
