SUMMARY:AN EVENING IN FRANCE
DESCRIPTION:Conductor: Topi Lehtipuu
\nSoloist: Sandrine Piau\, soprano\nComposers: Maurice Ravel\, Hector Berlioz\, Claude Debussy\, Gabriel Fauré\, Maurice Delage\, Jules Massenet\, Théodore Dubois and Henri Duparc \nUnder the direction of Topi Lehtipuu\, we can fully indulge in the brilliance of French music at its most enchanting and moving. The rich tonal colours of the Romantic era\, poetic expressions of emotion\, and impressionistic\, painterly moments unfold through the vocal works and smaller orchestral pieces of masters such as Ravel\, Berlioz\, Debussy\, Delage\, Massenet\, Dubois and Duparc. Topi has once again invited a top-class soloist to join us: who could interpret these songs more naturally than French soprano Sandrine Piau\, one of today’s most highly regarded lieder and opera artists?

SUMMARY:EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTERS concert series: “Yearning” – The Colours of Longing

SUMMARY:KYMI SINFONIETTA’S EASTER: STABAT MATER
DESCRIPTION:Conductor: Ilkka Aunu
\nVocalist: Aija Puurtinen
\nChoir: Donne Mature & Viri Perfecti\, chorus master Marjaana Turunen
\nKarl Jenkins: Stabat Mater (arr. John Gibbons) \nStabat Mater\, the 13th-century poem describing Mary\, the mother of Jesus\, suffering at the moment of her son’s crucifixion\, takes on a powerful musical form in the hands of Welsh composer Karl Jenkins – without forgetting the other ancient writings that inspired the work. In Stabat Mater\, the traditional Western musical heritage encounters traditional instruments from around the world and world-\nmusic harmonies. Latin meets several other ancient languages\, including Aramaic\, the mother tongue of Jesus.

SUMMARY:SIBELIUS!
DESCRIPTION:Conductor: Jukka Untamala
\nSoloist: Sueye Park\, violin\nLouise Farrenc: Overture No. 1 in E minor\, Op. 23\nJean Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor\, Op. 47\nJean Sibelius: Symphony No. 3 in C major\, Op. 52 \nWe are delighted to welcome Sueye Park\, winner of the 2025 Sibelius Violin Competition\, whose impressively assured sound convinced the jury. The deeply moving power and beauty of Sibelius’s musical language reflecting Finnish nature and spirit is crystallised in the most recorded violin concerto of the 20th century.\nIt raises the soloist’s role to extraordinary heights of technical virtuosity and profound expression. Sibelius’s Symphony No. 3\, radiating a clarity reminiscent of the Viennese classics\, and the expressive overture by Louise Farrenc – a driving force in 19th- century Parisian musical life – are interpreted under the direction of the versatile Jukka Untamala.

DESCRIPTION:Conductor: Jukka Untamala
\nSoloist: Sueye Park\, violin\nLouise Farrenc: Overture No. 1 in E minor\, Op. 23\nJean Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor\, Op. 47\nJean Sibelius: Symphony No. 3 in C major\, Op. 52 \nWe are delighted to welcome Sueye Park\, winner of the 2025 Sibelius Violin Competition\, whose impressively assured sound convinced the jury. The deeply moving power and beauty of Sibelius’s musical language reflecting Finnish nature and spirit is crystallised in the most recorded violin concerto of the 20th century.\nIt raises the soloist’s role to extraordinary heights of technical virtuosity and profound expression. Sibelius’s Symphony No. 3\, radiating a clarity reminiscent of the Viennese classics\, and the expressive overture by Louise Farrenc – a driving force in 19th- century Parisian musical life – are interpreted under the direction of the versatile Jukka Untamala.

SUMMARY:IN THE FLOW OF MELODY – CHAMBER CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Kymi Sinfonietta string quartet: Sergei Tiutiunik\, violin – Linda Fogelsone\, violin – Margarethe Breit\, viola – Aleksandra Petrova\, cello\nDmitri Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 4 in D major\, Op. 83\nMaurice Ravel: String Quartet in F major \nThe chamber concerts by our own musicians are created with great heart and artistic ambition\, highlighting the personal interests of our players. For this Thursday evening\, our string ensemble offers two magnificent string quartets\, both moving in deeply emotional waters while cherishing melodic beauty. Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 4 is a profoundly personal work that reflects the contradictions of its\nera and one of which the composer himself was very proud. Ravel’s String Quartet became his first major success\, and audiences also received it with enthusiasm – it is a masterful combination of impressionistic tones and elegant musical storytelling.

SUMMARY:EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTERS concert series: “Conflicted” – The Unanswered Question
DESCRIPTION:Conductor: James Sherlock\nCharles Ives: The Unanswered Question\, S. 50
\nJean Françaix: Dixtuor\nFrank Bridge: Lament\, H.117\nEdgar Varèse: Octandre\nFrank Martin: Concerto for Seven Wind Instruments\, Timpani\, Percussion and Strings \nThe soloistic spotlight falls on chamber ensembles formed from the orchestra’s own ranks\, under the baton of a new conducting collaborator\, James Sherlock. This five-work series offers a fascinating look at different 20th-century compositional styles at a moment when composers were exploring the future directions of art music. Ives creates a philosophical dialogue between instrumental groups\, Françaix chooses humour as his stylistic tool\, Bridge voices his opposition to war through music\, Varèse focuses on playful rhythms\, and Martin brings together elements of past and present. Each composer inspires the listener in his own way and leads us into a world of intriguing musical colours.
