Kuusankoski Hall

For his second concert of the season, artistic partner Nathanaël Iselin presents a musical menu inspired by his personal favourites.

Following the tremendous success of last spring’s Baroque concert, the orchestra returns with a programme bringing together some of the era’s most dazzling works – true musical gems. At the heart of the evening are Bach’s celebrated Brandenburg Concertos, represented here by the first and fifth concertos from the series.

The Finnish Jazz Federation celebrates 100 years of jazz in Finland this year, while Eero Koivistoinen marks his 80th birthday. This year also marks 100 years since Coltrane’s birth, making this truly a celebration on many levels. Welcome to celebrate through the power of jazz!

Artistic partner Nathanaël Iselin brings touches of the French Christmas music tradition, which is especially close to his heart, into the Finnish Christmas concert tradition. The evening’s programme combines international and Finnish classics that guide audiences towards the peace and joy of Christmas.
