He has performed as a soloist and chamber musician widely in Finland as well as in France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Lithuania and USA. Giving piano recitals since age 15 he has developed a highly professional attitude towards concertizing and thus his musical personality has had the proper time to mature already starting from an early age. He has a wide repertoire reaching all the way from early Baroque to the 21st Century music. However, its focal point stands in the Classical and Romantic eras. In February 2018 he performed the complete works of Toivo Kuula in Sibafest, Helsinki Music Centre. Oksanen has been succesful in various national and international competitions. He has been awarded in the 8th Nordic Piano Competition 2017 in Sweden, in Madetoja Piano Competition 2012 in Oulu, Finland and in Citta di Ghioggia Competition in Italy 2009.

He is currently studying in the Master’s Program in Sibelius Academy with Risto-Matti Marin. In 2014-2015 he studied in Conservatoire de Paris with Denis Pascal. His previous teachers include Teppo Koivisto and Rebekka Angervo. Chamber music has an important role in his musicianship. He has studied with Paavo Pohjola and Marko Ylönen in Sibelius Academy and with Itamar Golan in Conservatoire de Paris and performed with Yuval Gotlibovich, for example. Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival has offered him great insight in to ensemble playing during various editions of the festival and master class. He is currently working with a piano trio and duo ensembles. In 2017 he played with Esa-Pekka Salonen in the Sibelius Academy/Juilliard School Orchestra tour in Alice Tully Hall in New York, Stockholm Baltic Sea Festival and Helsinki Music Centre. Oksanen’s love for music doesn’t stop at the piano nor in classical music. Rock music has been an important part of his life since a child and this has given him unique aspects to music making overall. In 2016 he formed and led a rock band Aurora Lights as lead singer/guitarist. He composed about 30 songs with english lyrics. In addition to composing some classical music he has arranged Sibelius’ Finlandia for 2 pianos, a work he performed over 20 times in the Concert Hall of Music Centre in Helsinki. In 2011-2012 he studied conducting with the legendary maestro Jorma Panula. .

Kaiken Lisäksi Nainen – Ellen Urhon Ammatillinen Elämäkerta
– Ellen Urhon ammatillinen elämäkerta Kaiken lisäksi nainen ©LEHTIKUVA Marja-Leena Juntunen Kaiken lisäksi nainen – Ellen Urhon ammatillinen elämäkerta Kirjassa tarkastellaan musiikkikasvatuksen ja musiikkialan monipuo- lisen vaikuttajan Ellen Helevuo-Urhon (s. 1920) ammatillista elämä- kertaa – hänen toimintaansa musiikkipedagogina sekä yhteiskunnalli- sena ja kansain välisenä vaikuttajana suomalaisen musiikkikasvatuksen lähihistorian jatkumon näkökulmasta. Kirjassa pyritään kuvaamaan Ellen Urhon musiikkikasvatuksellista ajattelua sekä kartoittamaan musiikkikasvatuksen ja sen korkeakouluopetuksen, erityisesti Sibelius- Akatemian, lähihistoriaa niin sisällöllisesti kuin institutionaalisesti, ja näin tiedostamaan paremmin nykyisten käytäntöjen ajatuksellista ja ideologista taustaa. Kirja sisältää kuvauksia ja tarinoita Ellenin värikkäästä työelämästä, jossa yllättävät käänteet ja lukuisat kohtaamiset nivoutuvat osaksi hä- nen elämänsä portaikkoa. Ellenin elämäkerran kuvaukset avaavat nä- köalan moneen musiikkikasvatuksen lähihistorian maisemaan. Tarinat kertovat ansioituneesta, työlleen omistautuneesta ja sitä koko sydämes- tään tekevästä ihmisestä. Ellen Urho on tehnyt historiaa olemalla useissa työtehtävissään ja luottamustoimissaan ensimmäinen tai joukon ainoa nainen. Hän jää historiaan Sibelius-Akatemian ainoana naisrehtorina sekä musiikki- kasvatuksen ainoan maailmanlaajuisen järjestön ISMEn ensimmäisenä naispresidenttinä. ISBN 978-952-5959-52-9 (sid.)

Lineage Curated by Julia Bullock Soundbox
LINEAGE CURATED BY JULIA BULLOCK SOUNDBOX 1 julia bullock on lineage “I’ve found that musicians often share a lot about the various influences in their lives— whether they be historical, political, philosophical, personal, or based on other mediums of art. They let diverse influences not only impact their work, but find ways to let them register explicitly. It’s like musicians are hyper conscious of their lineage—they honor it and value it. So, as I continue to follow along the path and legacy of artists that came before me, lineage has become increasingly important—it’s a part of knowing from where I originated and letting that inform where I envision myself going. The musicians on this SoundBox program could not make music all together in one place, or even at one time, but the very nature of this program—which links material that spans across almost 900 years—captures an audio and visual snapshot of how lineage can inform, influence, impact, and express itself in a musical context.” 2 Esa-Pekka Salonen SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY MUSIC DIRECTOR San Francisco Symphony Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen has, through his many high-profile conducting roles and work as a leading composer, shaped a unique vision for the present and future of the contemporary symphony orchestra. Salonen is currently the Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and is Artist in Association at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. He is a member of the faculty of the Colburn School in Los Angeles, where he developed and directs the pre-professional Negaunee Conducting Program.
