NordNote in Konzerthaus Berlin

Finland became an autonomic state of Russia in 1809. This was the first step in the development towards an independent country - Finland got the independence in 1917. My idea was to celebrate the 200 years of the Finnish history with an important Finnish concert series. These artistic plans could be carried out only with excellent co-operation partners: Finnish Institute in Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin and Konzerthausorchester Berlin. Altogether it became a concert series of ten concerts in the Konzerthaus Berlin in the season 2009-2010. There is some Finnish music in every programme performed by the best artists of Finland.
