SINFONIA FINLANDIA Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä was founded in 1955. Since 2003 the artistic director has been the French flautist and conductor Patrick Gallois. In addition to its regular symphony concerts, the orchestra has toured widely throughout Finland with such illustrious soloists as Karita Mattila, Viktoria Mullova, Yehudi Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci, and has also made light music tours with leading Finnish musicians. The orchestra toured Japan in 2000 and 2004, as well as France, Spain, Poland and Norway. For some years now the Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä has appeared at various summer festivals, and collaborates closely with the Jyväskylä Opera. The orchestra’s activities include several recordings, notably the first recording of the famous Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s opera Aleksis Kivi, among other acclaimed releases. Its first Naxos recording, of early Haydn symphonies (8.557571), was released in 2004. Other recordings include Symphonies by Gounod (8.557463), works by Sibelius and Desbrière (8.557985F) and a second disc of Haydn Symphonies (8.570761).
