Se­bas­tian Silén – Jean Si­be­lius and Nor­dic Dances

This is done by performing Sibelius’ works for violin and piano alongside works by other Nordic composers. The repertoire includes many Nordic works for violin and piano which are virtually unknown in Finland.  

Due to the character of the repertoire the concert setting draws inspiration from the musical salons of the late nineteenth century and aim to present a more casual concert atmosphere. The doctoral researcher Sebastian Silén will also briefly introduce the works and place them in a cultural setting.  

The concert is aimed for all audiences who are interested in charming works for violin and piano, Nordic music, or listeners interested in a relaxing concert experience. 

Programme

• Sibelius, Gade, Henriques, Aulin, Röntgen, Grieg, Halvorsen 

Performers

• Sebastian Silén, violin
• Satu Elijärvi, piano

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.
