This amateur ensemble performed principally light music and dances; classical music started to appear on the programmes in 1902. The Pori City Orchestra, nowadays known as the Pori Sinfonietta, was established in 1938 when the amateur orchestra and Pori Orchestral Society joined forces. By the late 1970s all of the players (28) were professional musicians. The Pori Sinfonietta gives symphony, chamber and church concerts as well as performing The Hunt of light music and children’s concerts; it also plays at opera productions in Pori and Vaasa. The orchestra has also appeared in Sweden and Hungary, and its principal conductors have included Juhani Numminen, Hannu Koivula, Juhani Lamminmäki and Ari Rasilainen. King Charles Ari Rasilainen Ari Rasilainen, conductor (b. 1959), started his career as a violinist in the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.

November 2010 17.00 Uhr Kreuzkirche Dresden Jana Büchner sopran Jochen Kupfer bass Cantores Minores Helsinki Hanno Norjanen einstudierung Dresdner Kreuzchor Dresdner Philharmonie Kreuzkantor Roderich Kreile leitung brahms und seine zeitgenossen johannes brahms um 1853 „Ich dachte, [...] es werde und müsse [...] einmal plötzlich Einer erscheinen, der den höchsten Ausdruck der Zeit in idealer Weise auszusprechen berufen wäre...“ schrieb Robert Schumann 1853 (Neue Zeitschrift für Musik) über Johannes Brahms. Kurz zuvor hatte der Hamburger Pianist im Zuge einer Konzertreise, die ihn auch nach Düssel- dorf führte, das Ehepaar Schumann in seinem Hause besucht. Brahms, dessen Debüt keine fünf Jahre zurücklag und dessen erste Kompositionen nahezu druckfrisch waren, dürfte die Einschätzung Schumanns einigermaßen beeindruckt haben. Immerhin standen der um 23 Jahre ältere Komponist und seine Frau in Kontakt mit namhaften zeitgenössischen Musikern. Aus den gemeinsamen Musizierstunden im Hause Schumann ist eine Freundschaft hervor- gegangen, die auch nach dem Tode Robert Schumanns 1856 anhielt und weit über alle künst- lerischen Intentionen hinausging. So begleitete Brahms im Sommer des Schicksalsjahres die Witwe Schumann auf ihrer Reise in die Schweiz.

  • Germany As a Cultural Paragon Transferring Modern Musical Life from Central Europe to Finland
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto Germany as a Cultural Paragon Transferring Modern Musical Life from Central Europe to Finland By Vesa Kurkela and Saijaleena Rantanen Introduction From the customary point of view, the two decades before and after the turn of the 20th century form the era when the national music culture of Finland was born. During these years, the first symphony orchestra (1882), the first conservatory (1882), the Finnish National Opera (1911), the Finnish Musicological Society (1916) and the first chair of musicology at the University of Helsinki (1918) were founded.1 Further, in the wake of the first symphonies (1900–1902) and other orchestral music by Jean Sibelius, the concept of ‘national style’ was born, and Finnish orchestral music witnessed a breakthrough in the Western world.2 In addition, the years between the mid-1880s and the Great War became famous for national song festivals with unprecedented large audiences and a great number of performers: thousands of nationally-inspired citizens assembled at the festivals, organised almost every summer in regional centres, in order to listen to tens of choirs, brass bands, string orchestras and solo performances.3 On closer inspection, however, we also find the formation of a new music culture in the transnational context of general European music, both art and popular. This development can be seen as a long-lasting process, in which German music and musical culture were transformed and translated to a prominent part of modern national culture in Finland.

  • THE GERMAN INFLUENCE on FINNISH VIOLIN MUSIC from the NINETEENTH CENTURY Sebastian Silén
    THE GERMAN INFLUENCE ON FINNISH VIOLIN MUSIC FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Sebastian Silén YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ATdA76qV8&list=PLLdPJXjA- sYJVoG41XXttLuk8ddxdH3Uy&index=55 Excerpts from: Fredrik Pacius: - Variationer öfver motivet “Studenter äro muntra bröder” (0.08) - Duo for Violin and Piano (14.13) Robert Kajanus: - Scherzo (22.56) - Air élégiaque (25.32) - Berceuse (35.25) This text serves as a summary of a lecture recital which was performed on September 5, 2018, in Juozas Karoasa Hall during the Doctors in Performance conference in Vilnius. The presentation was part of an artistic project whose primary goal was to record a CD containing largely neglected music for violin and piano by Fredrik Pacius (1809-1891), Robert Kajanus (1856-1933), and Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). The CD will be released by SibaRecords by the end of 2019. The recording constitutes a part of an artistic doctoral work titled Contextualizing Jean Sibelius's Works for Violin and Piano at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. The project has focused on these three composers for several reasons. My artistic doctoral work explores the Nordic musical context surrounding Jean Sibelius's violin works, searching for similarities and differences between Sibelius's works and works for violin and piano by his Nordic contemporaries. In order to understand the music which Sibelius composed during his early career, a natural starting point is to begin by exploring Finnish music from the nineteenth century. Pacius, Kajanus, and Sibelius were among the most influential figures in Finnish music history and played an invaluable role in developing Finland's culture.

  • Estonia Above All: the Notion and Definition of Estonia in 19Th Century Lyrics
    Estonia above All: The Notion and Definition of Estonia in 19th Century Lyrics Õnne Kepp In the literature of small nations created by authors whose fate, like that of the whole of the nation, has always been dependent on militant and self-interested neighbours or the ambitions of great powers, the relations between the writer, his people and country should be of special significance. Even taking a cursory glance at Estonian poetry, one notices the frequent use of the words ‘Estonia’, ‘Estonian people’, ‘the Estonian language’ and ‘an Estonian’. In different periods and under different conditions these have been understood, expressed and treated differently. e semantics of the fatherland and its usage is central in the ideology of national movements, and therefore it is of interest to observe its occurrence dur- ing the period of the national awakening and the formative years preceding it. How was the notion and definition of Estonia shaped in Estonian poetry? Being first and foremost associated with the concept of fatherland, separating ‘Estonia’ from the fatherland is quite a violent enterprise. But still, ‘Estonia’ car- ries a heavier semantic accent, while ‘fatherland’ functions rather as a romantic myth and a symbol. In addition, Ea Jansen makes a third distinction and brings in ‘home(land)’ by saying ‘fatherland is “the home of a nation”’ ( Jansen 2004: 5).1 us, ‘fatherland’ has a special emotional content for a nation. ‘Estonia’ as a con- cept is more neutral and definite. As a rule the following discussion is based on the poetic use of the word ‘Estonia’, without breaking, if need be, the association with its twin notion in the coherent (patriotic) unit.
