Avanti! (ital. forward!) is a Finnish chamber orchestra founded by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Olli Pohjola in 1983. The composition of the orchestra varies between a string quartet and a symphony orchestra depending on the situation; the starting point is the music itself, not the composition of the orchestra.

UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra is a professional jazz and new rhythm music orchestra that performs in around 100 concerts and events every year. Since 1975, UMO Helsinki has released more than 50 albums and performed with international jazz stars as well as top names from Finland. The orchestra’s repertoire ranges from jazz to soul and classical music, surprisingly combining new and old.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2019, the Finnish Baroque Orchestra (FiBO) is known for its skilful performances, bold and innovative working methods and creative programming. Baroque music is at its core, but the orchestra also frequently tackles works from other periods, from early Baroque to early Romanticism. The FiBO also plays new music composed for the baroque orchestra and has premiered several works commissioned by the orchestra.
