About this event

Finnish Scenery is a curated symphonic and vocal concert presented by the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under the baton of conductor Eva Ollikainen. The production bridges contemporary Finnish repertoire with late-Romantic masterworks, creating a thematic arc that explores Nordic landscapes and emotional depths. The program is anchored by the dual presence of Finnish composers, juxtaposing the modern textures of Kaija Saariaho with the foundational national romanticism of Jean Sibelius. The staging of this concert relies on the acoustic and architectural properties of its two distinct venues: the historic Victoria Hall in Geneva and the unique, wood-paneled La Grange au Lac in Évian-les-Bains. The production highlights specific instrumental and vocal timbres, particularly in the first half, which requires precise balance between the orchestral forces and the featured soloists, soprano Anu Komsi and cellist Lionel Cottet.
