I don’t think I can express in words how long I have been waiting to see cinematic music outfit AURI. The trio, consisting of keyboard player Tuomas Holopainen, multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, and vocalist Johanna Kurkela finally, got around to a big tour. On August 23rd, 2025, as part of Helsinki Festival, they had a show at Huvila in Helsinki. For Johanna Kurkela, it was a double shift, as her other equally cinematic project, EYE OF MELIAN, would also be playing. Check our photo gallery of the evening here…
