When the oldest orchestra in Finland arrives in the capital, it is time for celebration. Thus Kevin John Edusei conducts three works that sparkle with musical storytelling at its best – both whimsical, cheerful and wonderfully lyrical. Expect Strauss’s musical jokes, legends from Hungary and the luxurious prelude by Dora Pejačević, a contemporary of Mahler. The concert’s highlight features Sibelius Violin Competition finalist Minami Yoshida shining in Bruch’s Scottish landscapes.
