History
Musik & Talang began as a vision in 2009 when the Swedish Cultural Foundation sparked the idea of a major initiative for rhythmic music in Swedish-speaking Finland. In 2010, industry experts gathered, and from their discussions, a project was born – a platform for inspiration, knowledge, and networking.
DUNK – De Ungas Musikförbund i Svenskfinland r.f took the lead, launching a music congress with a live stage, along with a website filled with industry insights in Swedish. Between 2011 and 2021, Musik & Talang became a key meeting place for musicians, students, and professionals in the Finland-Swedish music scene.
Now we’re taking the next step! In collaboration with the Interreg Aurora project Nordic Music Creators, DUNK is launching Aurora Music Forum – a brand-new Nordic music congress. Premiering in Vaasa on September 19–20, 2025, it builds on the legacy of Musik & Talang but aims even higher. Aurora Music Forum brings the entire Nordic region together and opens doors to international networks within the music industry.
Welcome to the music congress of the future!
