In 2022 we celebrated the music of composer Kaija Saariaho
Musicians from across the Finnish classical-music scene are embarked upon a historic collaboration, inspired by Saariaho’s music. This collaboration culminated in October 2022 with ‘Kaija Saariaho 70’, a series of events across the country in celebration of the composer’s 70th birthday.

Let the music sound!
The anniversary celebrations in 2022 saw performances of numerous works by Kaija Saariaho, including stage works and world premieres.
Over the last four decades, Kaija Saariaho’s music has served as an immense source of inspiration for music students, orchestras, composers and performers, concert organisers and audiences alike.
In 2022, this inspiration became flesh, culminating in a series of concerts and events bringing together the entire Finnish classical-music world for this unique occasion.
