OBS! The concert place has changed to Sibelius Hall / Carpenters Hall (earlier Felix Krohn Hall)

This internationally acclaimed festival will bring together friends of Sibelius’ music from across the globe September 2.9.-5.9.2021, as the Lahti Symphony Orchestra once again invites followers of Finland’s national composer to a wonderful celebration in the acoustically splendid setting of Sibelius Hall. The Artistic Director of the festival is the distinguished Chief Conductor of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Dalia Stasevska.

Aino Sibelius 150 years

All through their life together, Aino Sibelius supported Janne. The young Aino wrote letters to her new husband, whose piano pieces sound like musical replies to Aino. The letters and music are from the couple’s first years of marriage. The letters are read by the masterful Seela Sella; the pianist is the promising young Tähe-Lee Liiv. What kind of dialogue will arise?

The Lahti Symphony Orchestra reserves the right to make changes to the programmes and timing of concerts if the restrictions are required by the coronavirus infection situation.
