Classical music and culture professionals discuss antiracism in Finland.

WATCH A RECORDING OF THE EVENT

This Taidepiste event, hosted completely in English for the first time, focuses on the current state of diversity and equality in the field of classical music in Finland. Who are the gatekeepers that exist in the field and what are their responsibilities? What can we learn from progress being made outside of Finland?

The topic is discussed by curator, cultural manager and producer Ceyda Berk-Söderblom, cellist and master’s student from the Uniarts Helsinki’s Sibelius Academy Sujari Britt, Dean of the Sibelius Academy Emilie Gardberg, and General Manager of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra Aleksi Malmberg. The discussion will be in English and moderated by journalist Sean Ricks.

We are also pleased to welcome hugely talented cellist Sujari Britt to perform with pianist Valeria Resjan as part of the event.
