Sibafest: Take a peek behind the scenes of the Symphony Orchestra
What happens in the orchestra before the first notes are played?
How does a student prepare for a period in the orchestra? How does playing in an orchestra differ from playing alone? What does the student get out of the orchestra project? How can the orchestra be coached? How does a university orchestra compare to a professional orchestra? What is the backstage of the Musiikkitalo concert hall like?
You’ll get answers to at least these questions, get to visit the back stage and listen to a moment of rehearsal when the orchestra’s musician, coach and producer talk about the work of the Sibelius Academy Symphony Orchestra. Meeting in the lower foyer.

Sibafest 26–27 Jan 2024
On 26–27 Jan, the main event of Sibelius Academy’s Sibafest will fill out the Helsinki Music Centre. The festival kicks off a year packed with a thousand concerts. At Sibafest, you can follow the rehearsals for the Marriage of Figaro, try out the organ, peek behind the scenes of the symphony orchestra and participate in a techno concert and panel discussions.
Now taking place for the tenth time, Sibafest is the biennial main event of the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki. The event presents the Academy’s internationally top-quality concert activities. The main parts are played by the Sibelius Academy’s own students and teachers and well as the audience themselves – both together and separately.
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.
