The decision was based on Creative Technology’s versatile technical solutions, reliability, responsibility, and the strong experience of its key personnel in corporate events, music productions and international shows.
“We were looking for a partner who would work alongside us as a developer, not just an executor. Creative Technology demonstrated broad technical expertise and met our expectations best. Their know‑how supports both our established theatre operations and Fuuga, whose technical solutions are now being built from the ground up together.”
– Arto Valkama, CEO, Kulttuuriranta
“It is a great honour to take responsibility for the performance technology of Turku City Theatre and Fuuga. The theatre carries a long history, and Fuuga is an exceptional new music hall where world‑class acoustics, architecture and multifunctional spaces create a strong foundation for a wide range of productions. We have decades of experience supporting events and technical productions in the Turku region. For Kulttuuriranta, we bring our best expertise to the technical delivery of demanding performances, concerts and events.”
– Jarno Uusitalo, Managing Director, Creative Technology Finland
Fuuga Brings Performance Technology to a New Level
Turku City Theatre expects the partnership to open new possibilities. Fuuga has been designed from the start to combine a unique acoustic environment with modern performance technology across all event spaces. With Creative Technology’s expertise and support, Kulttuuriranta aims to meet the diverse needs of its clients as broadly as possible.
For example, the light‑coloured wooden surfaces of the Concert Centre can be used creatively for lighting and video projection. Creative Technology’s extensive international experience provides a strong foundation for building a long‑term partnership.
– Petteri Unkila, Production Director, Kulttuuriranta.
“We want Fuuga to become an internationally attractive concert and event venue, and a strong technical partnership is part of that strategy. This collaboration gives us, our partners and our audiences the confidence that technical delivery is in professional hands from the very first night.”
– Samppa Rinne, Director, Fuuga Music Centre
A long‑term partnership
The multi‑year agreement makes Creative Technology a strategic technical partner for Kulttuuriranta. The collaboration begins with Turku City Theatre and expands to Fuuga’s concert and event operations once the music centre opens.
Creative Technology will provide performance technology and technical staff for both in‑house productions and external events in both venues.
“We want to help build experiences where technology strengthens the atmosphere, the story and the audience’s connection to the event.”
– Elina Tuokko, Sales Manager, Creative Technology Finland
