Description

The musicians of the TBSO present Jean Sibelius’ Finlandia from safety of our homes! We miss playing for our wonderful audience and we want to thank all our donors who are supporting us through these challenging times. We hope that the stirring melody of Finlandia, originally written to inspire national unity, will serve to lift everyone’s spirits as we weather the storm together.

We would like to thank Marie-Claude Tardif, Scott Whetham, Andrew Nazer, and Alex Artale for joining the TBSO for this virtual orchestra production!
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our concertmaster Thomas Cosbey for his work on the reference track we used to record and to our librarian James Moat for editing and producing this
video!
