Interview with Artistic Director Dima Slobodeniouk
(in Finnish and free of charge)

The dark atmosphere of the Fourth Symphony is matched only by its technical subtleties and sometimes futuristic harmonies, which it took critics and audiences decades to come to terms with. The Second Symphony is very different: this bright and impassioned work, triumphant in tone, had its origins in the sunshine of Italy amid a hectic frenzy of creativity. Ever since its first performance it has remained the most frequently played of Sibelius’s symphonies.

The Lahti Symphony Orchestra reserves the right to make changes to the programmes and timing of concerts if the restrictions imposed by the Finnish government continue and if required by the coronavirus infection situation in the autumn of 2020.
