Mozart sets the stage with energy, elegance, and drama—an ideal prelude to an evening of compelling musical storytelling. Guest conductor Ludovic Morlot—who captivated audiences when he stepped in at short notice with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO in 2024—leads a journey that culminates in the soaring melodies of Sibelius’s epic Second Symphony.
At its heart, Elisabeth Leonskaja brings profound artistry to Mozart’s darkly expressive 24th Piano Concerto—one of his most personal works, rich in light and shade. If anyone can uncover its secrets, it’s the legendary Leonskaja.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO has a strong connection to Sibelius, from its founder Ian Whyte receiving a telegram of support from the composer during World War II following a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio broadcast, to former Chief Conductor Osmo Vänskä’s revelatory 5-concert symphony cycle, The Sibelius Experience, in 1997.
