Nils Schweckendiek

Nils Schweckendiek is a British-born conductor and academic known for his passionate advocacy of contemporary choral and orchestral music, particularly from Nordic and Baltic composers. Based in Finland, he’s made waves as the artistic director of the Helsinki Chamber Choir and a frequent collaborator with ensembles like the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra. His releases, such as *Rautavaara: Vigilia* and *Arvo Pärt: Passio*, showcase his knack for bringing spiritual and modernist works to life with haunting clarity. Schweckendiek also champions living composers like Antti Auvinen and Sampo Haapamäki, blending fresh sounds with timeless traditions. When he’s not conducting, you’ll find him teaching at the Sibelius Academy or diving into interdisciplinary projects that mix music with tech and visual arts.
