Chamber Music at Villa Gyllenberg: The Marginalised
The theme of the 2026 “Chamber Music at Villa Gyllenberg” concert series is “The Marginalised.” The series consists of three different subthemes and concerts.
Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor is a melancholic gem among Romantic violin concertos. Alongside the concerto, the programme includes Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Arvo Pärt’s Fratres, all led by violinist Stefan Jackiw.
Stefan Jackiw leader
Arvo Pärt: Fratres for violin, string orchestra, and percussion
Aaron Copland: Appalachian Spring, suite for 13 players
Intermission
Felix Mendelssohn: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in E minor, Op. 64
The Tapiola Sinfonietta’s spring season opens with American Stefan Jackiw, a violinist who made his debut at age 12 and has performed Mendelssohn’s concerto with, among others, the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. Pärt’s Fratres is part of the orchestra’s core repertoire, and at least fifteen different versions of this meditative work have been created since 1977.
Copland’s dance piece Appalachian Spring centers on a young couple starting a new life in the mountainous countryside. One of their most exciting moments is their introduction to the music of the Shakers. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor is a melancholic gem among Romantic violin concertos, the performance of which marked the peak of Sibelius’s solo career during his student years.

Bad Christmas! Hosted by Antti Holma, the evening features brand‑new compositions to poems by, among others, Reino Leino and Sirsi Sunnas. To make sure the evening is not entirely terrible, the composers represent the very top tier in Finland – not to mention the singers.
