A vibrant sinfonietta that started its journey over 100 years ago

The Lappeenranta City Orchestra is the smallest symphony orchestra in Finland: a vibrant sinfonietta with 21 full-time musicians. In 2020, Erkki Lasonpalo started as the orchestra’s Artistic Director. Our city orchestra started its journey as early as in 1909. The orchestra was municipalised in 1980, after which it expanded to its current composition. Today, the diverse programmes range from chamber music to symphonies, from classical to entertainment and from old to new music. 

The Lappeenranta City Orchestra cooperates extensively with the region’s music institutions and communities: The Dragoon Band, Etelä-Karjalan klassinen kuoro (South Karelian Classical Choir) and Lappeenranta Music Institute. As Saimaa Sinfonietta, the orchestra performs together with the string section of the Mikkeli City Orchestra (St. Michel Striings). Saimaa Sinfonietta performs in the Saimaa region several times during the concert season.

In addition to domestic concerts, the orchestra has performed abroad several times at various festivals and concert halls. The main concert venues of the orchestra in Lappeenranta are the City Hall’s Lappeenranta Hall and the churches. Our orchestra occasionally also performs in different places as the Lappeenranta Main Library.
