Meet the orchestra
Lohja City Orchestra
Agile and scalable Lohja City Orchestra was established in 1964 and it is the only professional orchestra in the western Uusimaa region. The dynamic core of the orchestra with12 permanent musicians can be expanded, if necessary, with freelance musicians into a chamber or symphony orchestra. The orchestra is a trusted partner to many top choirs and star soloists and has played, among others, with Jose Carreras, Plácido Domingo, Rolando Villazoni, Andrea Boccelli and the Il Divo tenors. The artistic director of the orchestra is the conductor-violinist Jukka Untamala.
Turku Philharmonic Orchestra
The roots of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra stretch back to the year 1790 and the founding of The Musical Society in Turku. The oldest orchestra in Finland – and one of the oldest in the world – the Turku Philharmonic was taken over by its host City in 1927. At the time it had 29 players, as against 74 today.
Savonlinna Orchestra
The Savonlinna Orchestra, the former Savonlinna Music Society, has long occupied a leading position in the musical life of the town, having functioned with a few brief intervals since 1915.
The Guards Band
The Representative Orchestra of the President of the Republic, the Guards Band is the oldest continuously operating professional orchestra in Finland. Nowadays the official representative band of the Finnish Defence Forces consists of 42 full-time musicians and performs at military events and state events.
