Antwerp Symphony Orchestra lead by Osma Vänska & Edith Van Dyck

Fin(n)ishing touch

Saariaho & Sibelius

Festival 20·21 doesn’t play a symphonic card every year, but for our 25th birthday we’d really like to pull out all the stops again. The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra will help us celebrate the occasion with an all-Finnish programme spanning the entire 20th century. They’ll start with the poetic flute concerto Aile du songe by Kaija Saariaho, a splendid piece full of scintillating sound and timbre shadings. They’ll follow it with Jean Sibelius’ powerful Fifth Symphony, truly a solid masterpiece.
