Bringing together seasoned musicians from leading professional orchestras, talented young music professionals and high-level students, Sinfonietta Fortis combines youth and experience.

 

In addition to its own concerts and guest appearances at several Finnish festivals, the orchestra also collaborates with choirs and functions as an opera orchestra, for example in Pehr Henrik Nordgren’s chamber opera Den Svarte Munken (The Black Monk), which was successfully performed with Opera Fortis at the 2022 Helsinki Opera Summer Festival. 

 

Sinfonietta Fortis recently commissioned Olli Kortekangas’ Requiem, giving the work’s first performance in February 2026 at the Katedraali Soi! festival in Turku Cathedral.

 

The debut album for Sinfonieta Fortis "BALLAD – Classical and Romantic orchestral songs from Finland and Sweden" with soprano Helena Juntunen and conductor Teemu Hämäläinen will be released in May 2026. 

 

The artistic director of Sinfonietta Fortis is conductor Teemu Hämäläinen.
