Full biography

Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra

The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra has its roots in the student orchestra founded by conductor and current Artistic Director Juha Kangas at the Central Ostrobothnian Music Institute in 1972. Out of this grew, and took root, the idea of a more permanent, professionally-led and organised orchestra. The dream of a professional orchestra of Ostrobothnia's very own finally came true in 1989. Since then, the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra has been on numerous tours to European countries, Japan and the United States. Its Principal Guest Conductor is Sakari Oramo.

Juha Kangas

A native of the Ostrobothnia region, Juha Kangas began his musical career as a folk fiddler. His move into conducting took an unusual route with the emphasis less on formal studies and more on wide-ranging professional experience. Kangas studied the violin under Onni Suhonen at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. After a period of five years as a viola player in the Helsinki Philharmonic, he took up the post of lecturer at the Central Ostrobothnian Music Institute (now the Central Ostrobothnian Conservatory; 1972-1986). As a sideline to his teaching activities, he founded the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra in 1972 and continues to act as its Artistic Director to this day.
