From Myrskyluoto to the Arctic Circle 6.5.

From Myrskyluoto to the Arctic Circle 6.5 invites you on an unforgettable sonic journey through Finland’s most cherished film music. Under the baton of conducting maestro Ako Kiiski, the Jyväskylä Symphony Orchestra unfurls the emotional landscapes of beloved Finnish cinema, breathing fresh life into the melodies that have become part of the national memory. The evening’s program weaves together familiar paths: the breezy, lyrical strains from *Maija of Myrskyluoto*, the playful, comic motifs from *Uuno Turhapuro*, the heroic gravitas of the *Arctic Circle* saga, and the timeless romance of Catherine and the Count from *Munkkiniemi*. As the orchestra casts these pieces into the concert hall, you’ll feel the pulse of the country, its people, and their shared dreams. At the heart of the experience are two charismatic soloists. The vivacious actress‑singer Oona Airola brings her expressive stage presence to the vocal numbers, while the celebrated musical star Mikael Saari delivers a powerful, heartfelt interpretation on the podium. Together, they help to transform the stories of screen and soundtrack into a live, resonant celebration of Finnish film heritage.
