Still thinking about @sarah_osa1 and @jpsaraste closing remarks after the final concert. Their words were so heartfelt and moving, and they made me reflect on not only music, but also friendship, and the importance of sharing meaningful experiences.

Sunnuntai oli tulkintojen juhlaa Konserttitalolla ⚡️

Turun konserttitalon otti haltuun Fiskars Festival Orchestra, johtajinaan Jukka-Pekka Saraste ja LEAD! Foundation Finland -mestarikurssin nuori kapellimestari 2026, Nina Haug. Solistina kuultiin häikäisevä Karen Cargill ✨

Konsertti oli vauhdikas matka neljän säveltäjän maailmaan klassikoista nykyhetkeen, jossa Beethovenin dramaattisesta jännitteestä edettiin Wagnerin herkkyyteen ja sisäiseen kaipuuseen. Tarkiaisen energinen teos ravisteli, ja Dvořákin sinfonia nosti yleisön kohti valoa ja vapauttavaa huipennusta 🌅

Kiitos Jukka-Pekka, Karen, Nina, Fiskars Festival Orchestra ja LEAD! 🩷

TMJ jatkuu keskiviikkona Sibelius-museossa:
📅 Ke 5.8. klo 19
🔹 Anton Mejias, @antonmejias

It seems that my musical heart is in Finland; in fact, it’s always been there but it’s just taken a while to discover it. For the past 2 years, I’ve been traveling there to work with my mentor Maestro Jukka-Pekka Saraste, and this week I returned again. Working with the Maestro has been an absolute delight and I’m happy for our amazing chemistry as teacher and student.

Also, there’s something about the natural open landscapes, the fresh air, the vast vegetation and the clean tap water of Finland that just brings out the best music in me. The violin concerto has been coming along well - do not be surprised if you hear Finland in it.

I wish to thank the @leadfoundationfinland Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Sarah Osa for a beautiful experience at this year’s Fiskars Music Festival.

”Maailma on syvä,
syvempi kuin päivä tietää.

Syvä on sen tuska
vaan ilo tuskaakin syvempi!
Tuska haluaa sen katoavan
mutta ilo mielii ikuisuutta –
syvää, syvää ikuisuutta!”
Friedrich Nietzsche: Also Sprach Zarathustra

On ilo elää musiikkia kanssanne Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Karen Cargill, Cantores Minores, Musiikkitalon kuoro sekä yleisömme – onneksi saamme kokea Mahlerin kolmannen sinfonian ihmeen vielä tänään torstaina 28.5.

✨ LEAD! Foundation tuo yhteen musiikin huippuosaajat ja tulevaisuuden tähdet ✨

Turun musiikkijuhlien avajaisviikonlopun konsertti 2.8. tarjoaa ainutlaatuisen mahdollisuuden tutustua myös LEAD! Foundationiin – kansainväliseen säätiöön, jonka ovat perustaneet Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Sarah Osa ja Frances Maunder.

LEAD! Foundation tukee nuoren sukupolven kapellimestareita, orkesterimuusikoita ja säveltäjiä tarjoamalla korkeatasoista mentorointia, mestarikursseja ja käytännön työskentelyä kansainvälisessä ympäristössä. Samalla säätiö rakentaa siltoja kokeneiden taiteilijoiden ja tulevaisuuden tekijöiden välille sekä vahvistaa suomalaisen musiikkikentän kansainvälisiä yhteyksiä.

Foundationin vuoden 2026 mestarikurssin nuorta kapellimestaria.

Illan solistina loistaa mezzosopraano Karen Cargill, ja ohjelmassa kuullaan vaikuttavia teoksia Beethovenilta, Wagnerilta, Dvořákilta ja Outi Tarkiaiselta.
