Founded in 1930, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra is a beacon of musical excellence and a cultural treasure in Finland. Based in the city of Tampere, this symphony orchestra has distinguished itself through both its dynamic live performances and its impressive catalog of recordings. The ensemble operates out of the Tampere Hall, the first concert hall in Finland that was specifically designed for symphonic music, lending an acoustic finesse to its comprehensive repertoire.

With a history that spans over nine decades, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra has matured into an expansive symphonic body of some 97 musicians, performing under the leadership of some of the most distinguished conductors and showcasing a variety of accomplished soloists. The orchestra's most recent releases demonstrate its versatility and commitment to a diverse array of works, ranging from American concertos to the nuanced compositions by Enescu, as well as highlighting contemporary pieces like Kalevi Aho's 'notkeatonline' and Puumala's 'Chainsprings - Seeds of Time'. Reflecting the nordic prestige, the orchestra has also paid homage to its roots with notable recordings of pieces by Sibelius. Whether performing beloved classics or venturing into avant-garde territory, the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra continues to be an emblem of Finland's rich musical heritage and a proponent of its contemporary composers.
