SUMMARY:TRIBUTES
DESCRIPTION:Director and viola soloist: Atte Kilpeläinen \nJohann Sebastian Bach: The Art of Fugue\, BWV 1080: Contrapunctus I\, Contrapunctus IV and Contrapunctus XIII (Rectus and Inversus)\nGyörgy Kurtág: Signs\, Games and Messages: Hommage à J.S.B.\, Ligatura Y and Perpetuum Mobile\nJohannes Brahms: Cello Sonata in E minor\, Op. 38\, arranged (Heribert Breuer) for viola\, wind quintet and double bass\nLouise Farrenc: Nonet in E-flat major\, Op. 38 \nLed by violist Atte Kilpeläinen\, this chamber music evening is built around the idea of tribute\, bringing together masters from different eras in a carefully crafted musical dialogue.\nThe concert particularly celebrates Hungarian composer György Kurtág\, who recently turned 100 and whose music has created uniquely personal sonic worlds. Selected movements from Bach’s The Art of Fugue intertwine naturally with excerpts from Kurtág’s Signs\, Games and Messages\, including one piece dedicated to Bach himself. Brahms’s profound cello sonata is heard here in a rare arrangement: the combination of viola\, wind quintet and double bass reveals entirely new dimensions within the work. The concert concludes with Louise Farrenc’s energetic nonet.

SUMMARY:KYMI SINFONIETTA WINDS – PLAN B: BARBER & BIZET
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Barber: Summer Music\, Op. 31\nGeorges Bizet: Suite from the opera Carmen (arranged for wind nonet by Andreas N. Tarkmann) \nIf an August summer day had a soundtrack\, this would be it. Barber’s Summer Music paints a landscape where time seems to stand still and the air shimmers with warmth. Bizet’s Carmen sets the atmosphere ablaze with operatic passion. Andreas N. Tarkmann’s witty arrangement for wind nonet offers a fresh perspective on a beloved classic. Sometimes Plan B turns out to be the best option!

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.

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: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.
