Our next concert

Wasa Sinfonietta Spring Concert: Child Prodigies and Young Virtuosos 1                                        Vaasa City Hall, Sat 7.3.2026 at 15.00

Wasa Sinfonietta’s spring main concert offers an inspiring and dynamic journey into the brilliance of classical music. The program celebrates child prodigies and young virtuosos from music history – extraordinary talents whose genius shone at an early age.

The evening features Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s sparkling overture Heimkehr aus der Fremde, Joseph Haydn’s virtuosic Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s powerful Symphony No. 1 in C major. Haydn’s concerto allows the trumpet to shine across its full range, performed by the charismatic soloist Minjoo Ga.

The concert is conducted by an exceptional young talent, Arijus Šereckis, finalist of the Minikaput 2024 conducting competition. At just 13 years old, this Finnish-Lithuanian conductor has already led professional orchestras both in Finland and abroad.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of youthful energy, musical brilliance, and timeless classical masterpieces – a concert not to be missed!

Tickets: €20 / €15 (students, pensioners, unemployed)
Duration including intermission approx. 1.5 hours.

The activities of Wasa Sinfonietta have been supported by the City of Vaasa, the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finlans, the Viljo and Maire Vuorio Foundation, and Helkaharju Oy.
