Conducting at the Sibelius Academy

The conducting programme at Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy is one of Finland’s most well-known areas of excellence and a source of international admiration. The training programme’s fame and uniqueness come from the fact that students are able to practice orchestral conducting with a real orchestra every week. Our conductor class has produced several internationally renowned conductors, such as Susanna Mälkki, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Sakari Oramo and Hannu Lintu.

Mannerheimintie renovation project

Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.

We recommend following the official information channels of the renovation project, where you can find the most up-to-date information.
