Choral arrangements concert
Poetic Landscapes — a journey with the choral conducting students.
The choral conducting students of the Sibelius Academy present a concert filled with fresh arrangements and original interpretations shaped by poetry. From moonlit reflections to winter visions and intimate inner journeys, each piece offers a unique encounter between text and sound.
The Sibelius Academy Vocal Ensemble performs works inspired by celebrated poets including Victor Hugo, Emily Brontë, Edgar Allan Poe, Sara Teasdale, Rainer Maria Rilke and others. Every piece has been arranged or shaped by the students themselves under the guidance of Matthew Whittall. The concert is supervised by choral conducting professor Nils Schweckendiek.
Join us in the Helsinki Music Centre’s main foyer for an evocative musical journey through shifting atmospheres, vivid imagery, and the expressive possibilities of the human voice.
Free entry — welcome!
