## Biography

Jyväskylä Sinfonia was founded in 1955 and is a versatile Finnish orchestra.

In addition to its regular symphony concerts, the Jyväskylä Sinfonia has toured widely throughout Finland with such illustrious soloists as Karita Mattila, Viktoria Mullova, Yehudi Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci. The orchestra has toured Japan 2000 and 2004, France 2003 and 2005, Spain 2005 and Poland 2004. For some years now, the Jyväskylä Sinfonia has been appearing at various summer festivals in Europe. Jyväskylä Sinfonia collaborates closely with the Jyväskylä Opera (Keski-Suomen Alueooppera).

The Orchestra's Lauluja merelle ("Songs to the Sea"), featuring soprano Karita Mattila with songs composed by Lasse Mårtenson, has sold more than 40,000 copies in Finland alone ([ODE 907-2](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-907-2)). The recording went platinum, a first both for Karita Mattila and Jyväskylä Sinfonia. The Jyväskylä Sinfonia is also featured on the première recording of Einojuhani Rautavaara's opera Aleksis Kivi ([ODE 1000-2D](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1000-2d)).
