About

Young composers dive into the ingredients of Sibelius' music and, from them, create versions of their own.
Sibis Alumni Big Band honours the Sibelius 150 years jubilee with a concert where they play new big band music inspired by works of Jean Sibelius. Music for the concert has been commissioned from Tim Hagans, Artturi Rönkä, Kari Ikonen, Valtteri Pöyhönen, Mikko Pellinen and Visa-Pekka Mertanen. The composers approach big band music from their own different viewpoints, but the common denominator of their works is their relationship to the music of Sibelius.
