The Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation has awarded the Finnish Baroque Orchestra a grant of 504 000 euros to establish fully fledged baroque opera in Finland through three productions and related activities in the coming years. This is tremendous news for FiBO – but above all for all lovers of baroque!
FiBO is led by an artistic leadership trio. It currently consists of executive manager Laura Kajander and artistic co-leaders Marianna Henriksson and Anthony Marini. Marini’s term will end at the end of this year, and Henriksson went on parental leave in April. All FiBO musician members were invited to apply for the position. Violinist Irma Niskanen has now been selected as FiBO’s new artistic co-leader!
As part of the European Top Choirs series, Joseph Haydn’s monumental The Seasons will be performed at the Helsinki Music Centre on 5 October. The renowned Zürcher Sing-Akademie from Switzerland joins the stage under the direction of Florian Helgath. This grand work brings together a large ensemble of performers—over 70 people including soloists, choir, orchestra, and conductor. Ticket prices vary widely, so book your seat soon!
