Experience Tarmo Peltokoski live on October 15th

Tarmo Peltokoski, a Finnish composer and accordionist, will perform at De Doelen in Rotterdam on October 15, 2026. Peltokoski’s musical style is characterized by a unique blend of contemporary classical music, improvisation, and traditional Finnish folk elements. His compositions often explore extended techniques on the accordion, pushing the instrument beyond its conventional boundaries and incorporating electronic processing alongside acoustic sounds. He frequently draws inspiration from nature, folklore, and personal experiences, resulting in pieces that are both evocative and technically demanding.

De Doelen is a renowned concert hall in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a significant history in classical and contemporary music. Originally built in 1898 as a shooting range (“Doelen” translates to “shooting targets”), it was repurposed as a concert venue in 1966 following extensive renovations. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and has hosted performances by numerous internationally acclaimed musicians across diverse genres including classical, jazz and world music. It comprises multiple spaces; the main Grote Zaal (Great Hall) is particularly noted for its architectural design and suitability for chamber orchestras and solo recitals.
