Galakontsert „Kandlevägi“ koondab lavale kandleorkestrid, et tuua esile kandle kui jõulise, kõlava ja väge kandva instrumendi tõeline potentsiaal.

1940ndal aastal loodud Soome kandleorkester Finn-Kanteleet on esinenud nii kodumaal, Euroopas kui ka Ameerikas, Jaapanis ja Araabia Ühendemiraatides. Finn-Kanteleet orkestrina ja nende mängijad on võitnud mitmeid kordi üleriigilisi konkursse Soomes. Kunstilise juhina on orkestrit vedanud Iida-Maria Kuronen ja Roni Tuomivirta. Juhatuse esimehena on hetkel Taru-Maaria Kuparinen-Säilä.  

Kandleorkester Sotto Voce on 2001. aastal Ruth Kuhi poolt loodud üle-eestiline orkester. Orkestris mängivad ca 40 tublimat noort kandlemängijat erinevatest muusikakoolidest. Aja jooksul on koosseis jagunenud kaheks: suured ja väikesed. Hetkel juhendavad suuri Laura Linnaks, Ann Kase ja Miia Polding ning väikseid Gerda Pärnaku ja Heidi Öövel. Orkester mängib mitmekülgset repertuaari. Iga dirigent on oma nägu ning seega võib orkestri esituses kuulda näiteks nii rahva-, klassikalist, pop-, nüüdis- kui vanamuusikat. 

Kandleansambel Kukulind on asutatud teeneka kandleõpetaja- ja mängija Els Roode poolt aastal 1975. Ansambli koosseisu kuuluvad mängijad, kes on Tallinna Muusikakooli kandle eriala õpilased või vilistlased. Aastate jooksul on Kukulinnul olnud mitu juhendajat: Els Roode, Ruth Kuhi, Ella Maidre ja Laura Linnaks. Ansamblis on tegevad olnud järgmised solistid: Ellin Sarapson (viiul), Hardo Killing (flööt), Jakko Maltis (laul), Heiti Riismäe (fagott), Siim Roode (viiul) jne. Hetkel juhendab ansamblit Ruth Kuhi. 

Kontsert kuulub 16.–18. oktoobril 2026 Pärnus toimuva XVI Rahvusvahelise Kandlefestivali ja VI Väikekandlefestivali ametlikku programmi.

The gala concert “Kandlevägi” brings together kantele orchestras to highlight the kantele as a powerful, resonant instrument full of expressive force.

Founded in the 1940s, the Finnish kantele orchestra Finn-Kanteleet has performed both in its home country and internationally across Europe, the United States, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. As an orchestra and as individual performers, the members of Finn-Kanteleet have won several national competitions in Finland. The orchestra has been artistically led by Iida-Maria Kuronen and Roni Tuomivirta. The current chair of the board is Taru-Maaria Kuparinen-Säilä.

The kantele orchestra Sotto Voce is a nationwide Estonian ensemble founded in 2001 by Ruth Kuhi. The orchestra brings together around 40 of the most talented young kantele players from various music schools. Over time, the ensemble has developed into two groups: senior and junior players. The senior group is currently led by Laura Linnaks, Ann Kase, and Miia Polding, while the junior group is guided by Gerda Pärnaku and Heidi Öövel. The orchestra performs a diverse repertoire, shaped by the artistic identity of each conductor, including folk, classical, pop, contemporary, and early music. 

The kantele ensemble Kukulind was founded in 1975 by distinguished kantele teacher and performer Els Roode. The ensemble consists of current students and alumni of the kantele department of Tallinn Music School. Over the years, Kukulind has worked with several instructors, including Els Roode, Ruth Kuhi, Ella Maidre, and Laura Linnaks.
