SUMMARY:Gallen-Kallela\, Klimt & Wien at the Ateneum
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Gallen-Kallela\, Klimt & Wien explores how Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s art developed in interaction with international modernists\, such as Gustav Klimt and Koloman Moser. The Vienna Secession movement\, which was founded under the direction of Klimt and which set out to reform art\, was united by an interest in developing new artistic identities\, promoting a modern way of life\, and creating large public works of art. The exhibition brings Gustav Klimt’s paintings to Finland for the first time. In addition to visual art\, the exhibition features photography and design\, including everyday objects\, jewellery and fashion. \n\n\n\nWe will have an exhibition intro.  An expert guide will introduce us to the themes and main artworks in the Gallen-Kallela\, Klimt & Wien exhibition\, with the help of a rich visual presentation\, in the Ateneum Hall.  After this we are free to explore the exhibition at our own pace. The intro lasts half an hour.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that several groups attend the exhibition intro. \n\n\n\nPhoto: Kansallisgalleria | Finnish National Gallery / Aleks Talve\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntry price : €22 or free with Museum Card.

Zhang is making her debut now at Finnish National Opera conducting Tosca\, premiere in this November.  \n\n\n\nZhang is woman of many “firsts”: the first woman to hold a titled conducting position with New York Philharmonic\, the first woman to lead a major Italian symphony orchestra\, and the first woman to hold a titled conducting position with a BBC orchestra as principal guest conductor of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Under her artistic leadership\, NJ Symphony won two awards at the mid-Atlantic Emmy Awards in 2022 for their concert films\, including “EMERGE”. As of 2025/26\, she also becomes the Music Director of Seattle Symphony with whom she has been a long-term collaborator since her debut in 2008. Following her tenure as Music Director of Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano between 2009-16\, she continues as their Conductor Emeritus. As a guest conductor\, Zhang appears regularly with Los Angeles Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra. Her Deutsche Grammophon recording with the latter (Letters for The Future with Time for Three\, released 2022) won GRAMMY® awards for Best Contemporary Classical Composition (Kevin Puts’ Contact) and Best Classical Instrumental Solo. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n2025/26 highlights include returns to Philadelphia Orchestra\, New York Philharmonic\, St Louis Symphony\, and National Arts Centre Ottawa.

This follows her huge success at the Metropolitan Opera in New York\, where she recently conducted Madama Butterfly (2023/24) and Tosca (2024/25) to great acclaim: \n\n\n\n“The success of Kurzak’s performance was due in no small part to Xian Zhang’s sensitivity as a conductor. Zhang has an exceptional ear for balance\, as well as the ability to draw the softest\, most transparent tones imaginable from the orchestra. […] With such skills and obvious audience appeal\, Zhang should prove a valuable addition to the Met’s conducting staff.” – New York Classical Review \n\n\n\nOther recent highlights include subscription programmes with Boston Symphony Orchestra\, London Symphony Orchestra\, Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo\, Houston Symphony\, San Francisco Symphony\, Washington’s National Symphony Orchestra\, Montreal Symphony\, Baltimore Symphony\, Orchestra of St Luke’s (including Brahms Requiem at Carnegie Hall)\, and Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse. \n\n\n\nZhang previously served as Principal Guest Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and BBC National Orchestra & Chorus of Wales\, the first female conductor to hold a titled role with a BBC orchestra. In 2002\, she won first prize in the Maazel-Vilar Conductor’s Competition. She was appointed New York Philharmonic’s Assistant Conductor in 2002\, subsequently becoming their Associate Conductor and the first holder of the Arturo Toscanini Chair.

SUMMARY:Event full. Waitlist opened. Guided Tour | 'Spain Beyond the Myths'\, at Sinebrychoff Museum
DESCRIPTION:The imagery of Spanishness \n\n\n\n… sprang from the interaction between travellers who fell in love with the country and the Spanish artists whose works matched their imaginings. The art of the 19th century contains motifs that accentuate Spain’s exoticism and unique characteristics. Today\, tourists from all over the world are still looking for an authentic Spain rooted in these images. … \n\n\n\nThe exhibition takes us from paintings that draw on the traditions of the 19th century and the ideals and myths of Spanishness towards the new era and international movements. The curators are Helena Alonso and J. Òscar Carrascosa\, c2c Cultura\, and Salla Heino. This is the first time that Spanish painting from the 19th and 20th centuries has been shown on this scale in Finland.” (Sinebrychoff Museum) \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMoment of Reflection\, 1876\, Luis Jiménez Aranda (1845–1928); (Oil on canvas\, 38.8 x 23 cm\, Photo: Colección Pedrera Martínez) \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe core of the Sinebrychoff Museum is the unique home environment of Paul and Fanny Sinebrychoff\, which is permanently on display on the second floor of the museum. \n\n\n\nThe tour will start at 11:15 so please arrive at the museum by 11:10 latest to purchase your ticket or show your Museum Card.

SUMMARY:November Luncheon | Lilla Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Luncheon at the boutique hotel Lilla Roberts\, right in the heart of Helsinki!\n\n\n\nLilla Roberts blends modern luxury with 1930s Art Deco charm offering a unique atmosphere. We are delighted to have our luncheon speaker\, Doctoral Researcher and Project Specialist Ana Jones- Wilenius from the Finland Futures Research Centre\, who will share highlights from the Summary Report of the Great Forest Dialogue Day 2025\, freshly published by the Kone Foundation on the 23rd of October.  \n\n\n\nForest is a very important resource for the Finnish economy\, but is also vital for climate\, biodiversity\, and contributes to people’s wellbeing- many Finns love to go to forest to enjoy nature. Have you ever thought about how society should balance all the different interests in the forest in a sustainable way? What does forest mean to you? \n\n\n\nAna has been one of the organisers of the many dialogues for the Great Forest Dialogue Day\, as well as the accompanying report. Her research centres on interdisciplinary initiatives that investigate the nature of change and its effect on the social environment of cities globally. Ana has lived in Columbia\, the United States\, and Germany. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n Schedule: 11:30 – 12:00 Presentation; 12:15 -14:00 Luncheon (by Krog Roba\, €31\,50) \n\n\n\nVenue:  Meeting Room Selim\, Lilla Roberts\, Pieni Roobertinkatu 1-3\, 00130 Helsinki \n\n\n\nCapacity: 40 participants \n\n\n\nNo shows and late cancellations (after the deadline) will be invoiced.  \n\n\n\nTo cancel\, contact the event organiser latest Friday 7.11. 10am.  \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the Future of Forests in Finland?Results from the Summary Report of the Great Forest Dialogue Day 2025 \n\n\n\nForests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and halting biodiversity loss. They are an essential part of the Finnish economy and an important source of income generation.   \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, forests are meaningful spaces for living\, recreation\, for wellbeing and restoration. Research shows forests are irreplaceable ecosystems\, essential to provide habitat for thousands of species. \n\n\n\nYet\, the meaning\, and the use of forests in Finland is changing. In the future\, we will need to learn how to balance the plurality of people’s values and interests while ensuring that forests remain within their ecological carrying capacity. \n\n\n\n\nAna Jones-Wilenius\, PhD Candidate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n…conducts research at the Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC)\, University of Turku. Her focus is on interdisciplinary systems and complexity research combined with futures theory and methods to contribute to build knowledge and understanding of the human-nature integration\, how it evolves and its role in social change.  \n\n\n\nAna holds a B.A. of Interior Design from the Boston Architectural College in Boston\, USA. In 2014 she completed her Master of Science in Resource Efficiency in Architecture and Urban Planning\, (M.Sc.) from the HafenCity University Hamburg. Currently she is PhD Candidate at the University of Turku\, Turku School of Economics. The preliminary title of her thesis is: Greensight: A Futures-Inspired Framework for Exploring Transformation in the Urban Environment.  \n\n\n\nAna’s experience involves working on international and multi-disciplinary projects with a pronounced social purpose.
