Jyväskylä Sinfonia in English

Radiant, passionate, fresh, and energetic – when describing Lorenzo Passerini, who is starting as the chief conductor of Jyväskylä Sinfonia this autumn season, adjectives seem insufficient. The 33-year-old Italian conductor has envisioned a strong artistic development for the orchestra, diverse repertoires, and drama-filled concert experiences for his three-year tenure.

Jyväskylä Sinfonia's inaugural season at Paviljonki is designed to be diverse, inviting and artistically ambitious. The programme includes numerous premieres, major works by great composers and unforgettable visits by conductors and soloists. To celebrate the new era, the orchestra's visual identity has also been redesigned down to the last detail. Many things are new, but the most important thing, the high quality of Jyväskylä Sinfonia’s music, remains strongly unchanged.

The opening concert of Jyväskylä Sinfonia's autumn season will take place on Wednesday 6 September under the baton of Spanish conductor Ramón Tebar. The concert will feature Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 and Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto, composed when she was only 15 years old, performed by pianist Laura Mikkola.
