SINFONIA FINLANDIA JYVASKYLA Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä was founded in 1955 and has seen various stages, among them phases as a private organization and as a communal unit. The orchestra has operated in its present form since 1965. The French conductor and flautist Patrick Gallois has been the Music Director of the orchestra since 2003 and leads a group of 38 musicians, with many tours abroad, including appearances in Japan, France, Spain, Poland and Norway. Sinfonia Finlandia Jyväskylä has recorded extensively for a number of major companies, among others for Naxos. These include a series of early symphonies by Joseph Haydn (8.557571, 8.557771), Franz and Karl Doppler’s flute music (8.570378) as well as Louis Spohr’s Violin Concertos, performed by Simone Lamsma (8.570528). The orchestra has also made a platinum-selling recording with the opera star Karita Mattila. Recent releases include, among others, music by George Gershwin (8.570939), Saint-Saëns Violin Concertos (8.572037), and the most recent recording from spring 2011 presents 18th century American overtures (8.559654).
