Heartily welcome to our home pages.

Welcome dear friends, the Sibelius in Korpo festival takes place this summer for the twenty-fourth time, between 18th and 20th of July, in this beautiful sunny archipelago environment. The theme for this summer’s festival will be “Jean Sibelius 160.", ie we are celebrating 160 years since his birth. This summer in total we will have four concerts, three in the Korpo Manor and one in the Korpo Church.

We are happy again to be able to wish welcome to Korpo a group of renowned musicians – some of them are visiting Korpo for the first time. 

 I wish all of you in the audience  enjoyable, personal experiences with the music of Jean Sibelius in the beautiful Korpo Manor, and in the Korpo church.

Petri Kirkkomäki

Folke Gräsbeck: Artistic Director’s Greeting

Sibelius in Korpo XXIV 18th to 20th July 2025

“Sibelius 160”

Dear Festival Visitors,

welcome to the 24. Edition of the Sibelius in Korpo Festival 18–20.7 2025! We have arranged the festival annually since the start in 2002. We offer inspired music making during three days, a pattern developed already during many years. Following some details from the programmes:

Friday 18th July at 6pm and 8pm at Korpo Manor there are ’Twilight Concerts’ with two eminent musicians, the violinist Kaisa Porra and the pianist Ruusamari Teppo. They are about the same age, but they represent different generations: Teppo is a daughter’s daughter’s daughter’s daughter of Sibelius, whereas Porra (sister of Lauri Porra) is ‘only’ a daughter’s daughter’s daughter. Kaisa Porra has in her possession Sibelius’s first violin, a Serafino. During the first half of the concert they are going to perform Sibelius’s early Sonata in A minor (1884) and Andante grazioso (1884–85), both of which Sibelius composed using this Serafino violin!  

 

Saturday 19th July at 4pm at Korpo Church (15th Century), we have a major cantata concert – Sibelius’s Promotion Cantata 1897 in 14 movements is performed by the Music House Choir (Helsinki), conducted by Eleriin Müüripeal. The baritone Petri Kirkkomäki is the general manager of the Sibelius Festival in Korpo as well as the chairman of the Music House Choir, and he is going to perform the cantata solos together with  sopranos Marjut Häkkinen and Hanna Tamminen, and the baritone Antti Kähönen. Within the realm of the Helsinki University, knowledge and enlightment are virtues highly praised in the cantata text. The movements 1, 3, 5 and 13 are optimistic, grand style student marches.

Sunday 20th July at noon (12.00), Ceremony at the Sibelius Monument, including flowers, music, speeches. Sibelius’s duet Tanken (‘The Thought’) is going to be performed. It was originally composed by Sibelius to his painter brother-in-law Eero Järnefelt, who celebrated silver anniversary wedding day in 1915.

Sunday 20th July at 3pm, concluding concert at Korpo Manor. Singers from the Music House Choir are going to perform favourite songs by Sibelius, like Demanten på marssnön, Lastu lainehilla, Var det en dröm? och Norden. The seldom heard Eight Songs, Op. 61, are performed completely. This opus collection is avoided by many singers because of tricky, half-modern structures. However, this impression of dissonances is getting soothed out in the concluding, gentle Vårtagen (‘The Spell of Springtide’), No. 8.

Sibelius iN korpo festival

The Festival Sibelius in Korpo has taken place since 2002. During these 16 years, 2002–2021, more than 270 compositions by Jean Sibelius have been performed, 26 of them as world première performances. The festival has gained a reputation as a special forum for Sibelius’s music – at the concerts rare compositions from his youth are heard alongside well-known masterpieces. The aim is to shed light on the various stylistic phases of Sibelius’s œuvre. Since the start in 2002, the programmes have been designed by the festival’s artistic director, pianist Folke Gräsbeck. Since 2012, baritone Petri Kirkkomäki has been director of administration.  

‘The Sibelius siblings lifted Uncle Pehr’s square piano into the fishing boat, and they played piano trio on the waves. Janne played the violin, Christian the cello and Linda the piano.’ 

Historical background
1886–1887

The Sibelius family spent summer holidays in Korpo in the Åbo (Turku) archipelago in 1886 and 1887. The first summer the family stayed on the big northern island of Norrskata, at the Vidix House, situated on the beautiful Hafträsk Bay. The second summer was spent in the centre of the Korpo church village, at Korpo Manor. Sibelius composed a major piano trio each summer, in 1886 the ‘Hafträsk’ Trio, JS 207, and in 1887 the ‘Korpo’ Trio, JS 209. Both works are the foremost compositions from their respective years. In addition, Sibelius composed around 20 other works. These have formed the basis of the festival’s concert programmes. 

The festival takes place regularly on the penultimate weekend of July. Since 2011, concerts have been arranged on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, a welcoming ceremony has been held on Saturday afternoon at the Sibelius monument (depicting the young Sibelius with his violin). The monument was unveiled in 2006 at the centre of the church village, close to the medieval Korpo Church. Orchestral and choir concerts have been held at the church, while other concerts have been arranged mainly at Korpo Manor (1805), designed by the Italian architect Charles Bassi. The manor’s famous musical salon is located upstairs, and provides an excellent acoustic. In this salon, the Sibelius family members spent many lengthy musical soirées during the summer of 1887. Their hostess Ina Wilenius, a talented pianist, was also an active player. In 2003, a high quality Grotrian Steinweg grand piano was acquired, and many of the concerts have been broadcast by Finnish Radio.
