Turku Philharmonic Orchestra´s autumns season begins on Thu 7th and Fri 8th September in the Concert Hall at 7 pm with a comprehensive program of finnish music. Between Klami and Sibelius we will hear two of Beethoven arias interpreted by soprano Reetta Haavisto.  Chief Conductor Leif Segerstam conducts the philharmonics. This programme will also be performed at the Mariinsky Concert Hall in St Petersburg as part of the celebrations of the centenary of Finland’s independence.

 

Uuno Klamis Kalevala Suite is full of epicness and primitivity spiced with modernism. Ludwig van Beethoven´s arias Primo amore and Ah, perfido! burst with the joy of first love and the miserability of being betrayed. The concert ends with Jean Sibelius´ 5th symphony that is filled with cosmic and nature-related themes and is one of the composers most famous works. 

 

Soprano Reetta Haavisto has had success in various lied-competitions. In addition she has sung many opera roles and has performed diversily with many orchestras.
