These concerts offer audiences a unique opportunity to observe how collaboration between conductor and orchestra takes shape and to experience different approaches to musical communication. The programme features outstanding works for string orchestra from different musical eras.
Ari Rasilainen, who has enjoyed a distinguished international career as a conductor and currently serves as Professor of Conducting at the University of Music Würzburg in Germany, will also provide commentary during the concert, offering insights into the art and training of orchestral conducting.
