Patrik Kleemola

Patrik Kleemola, born on March 13, 1981, in Valkeakoski, Finland, is a classical guitarist who stands out as one of the country’s leading musical voices for the instrument. He’s not only an acclaimed soloist but also a dedicated chamber and orchestral musician, frequently performing with symphony orchestras and in ensembles throughout Finland and beyond. Patrik has a wide-ranging repertoire that spans from 16th-century Italian pieces to contemporary works, with a special affinity for 19th-century music often played on period instruments. As the artistic director of the Turku Guitar Festival, he brings together international artists for concerts and masterclasses, further enriching Finland’s classical music scene.

Patrik’s journey with the guitar began at home, where his father’s semi-acoustic guitar sparked his early interest. He went on to study at the Valkeakoski Music Institute and later became the first professional musician in his family. Known for his inspiring performances and recordings—like the Tárrega Album and adaptations of Beethoven—Patrik also values teaching and mentorship, encouraging young guitarists to embrace consistent practice and dedication. His YouTube channel and concert schedule reflect his passion for sharing classical guitar music with audiences around the world.
