Matthew Halls, conductor
Helena Juntunen, soprano

Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of its chief conductor, performs some of Finland’s finest Finnish music on Independence Day. After Pacius’s “Maamme” (the Finnish national anthem), the concert will feature Jean Sibelius’s Karelia Suite and Valse Triste, as well as Väinö Raitio’s The Swans. Soprano Helena Juntunen, who has conquered international opera stages, interprets, among other pieces, songs of Toivo Kuula, who died tragically at the end of the Civil War. The concert of blue-and-white melodies culminates with the most remarkable Finnish work of all time, Jean Sibelius’s Finlandia.

The concert is part of the orchestra’s subscriber series, which does not include an intermission, Pre-concert talk or childcare (Lapsiparkki). The concert ends around 4:15 PM.

Changes are possible.
