On 7 October the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre will launch a series of concerts entitled Guest Orchestras: West-East. The first to perform will be the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra under Leif Segerstam.
The concert programme includes Jean Sibelius' Seventh Symphony and the songs The First Kiss, Autumn Evening, The Echo Nymph, Black Roses, Spring Is Flying, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet fantasy overture and the St Petersburg premiere of Leif Segerstam's Symphony No 288 Letting the FLOW Go on... which was composed last year. The soloist will be Marjukka Tepponen (soprano).
The Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and its Principal Conductor Leif Segerstam are frequent visitors to the Mariinsky Theatre. For several seasons in a row Finland's oldest ensemble has already performed to great acclaim at the Concert Hall. The Turku Philharmonic Orchestra has toured to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Belgium, Russia, Germany, Hungary and China. Many of the ensemble's recordings have gone platinum in terms of sales and have received prizes and awards.
As part of the subscription Guest Orchestras: West-East it will be possible to attend performances by the Nizhny-Novgorod Academic Symphony Orchestra (29 October), the Omsk Academic Symphony Orchestra (1 December), the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan (25 March), the Symphony Orchestra of Stavanger (27 April) and the Symphony Orchestra of the Karelian State Philharmonic (11 May).
