Avanti’s Two New Section Leaders and a Producer<\/h2>\n

In the spring of 2025, Avanti\u2019s section leaders were joined by two leading figures of the Finnish music scene and a long-standing trusted member of the ensemble: pianist Emil Holmstr\u00f6m and violinist Terhi Paldanius. In early summer, Anna Saarelainen also began as Avanti\u2019s new producer. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

EMIL HOLMSTR\u00d6M, PIANO<\/h5>\n

Emil Holmstr\u00f6m has performed as a soloist, chamber musician, and in various ensembles across Europe, the Americas, Japan, and Australia. He regularly appears at Finnish music festivals and concert series, and has performed as a soloist not only with Avanti but also with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Lapland Chamber Orchestra, and Sinfonia Lahti, in addition to recording numerous world premieres. Holmstr\u00f6m is an active advocate for new music and, besides Avanti, is a member of defunensemble and Uusinta Ensemble. He also serves as the artistic director of PianoEspoo. <\/p>\n

TERHI PALDANIUS, VIOLIN<\/h5>\n

Terhi Paldanius is a Finnish violinist. During her musical career, Paldanius has mostly performed chamber music, but she also contributes to versatility by playing as a soloist, in orchestras, on theatre stages and in many productions colliding different artistic disciplines. <\/p>\n

In addition to Avanti, Paldanius is a member of the Kamus Quartet and Klimatkvartetten and one of the artistic directors of the Our Festival. This autumn, he will start as a violin teacher at Metropolia, thus realising her dream of becoming a teacher. Paldanius lives in Espoo with her family. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

“I started working with Avanti more than ten years ago in the form of Suvisoitto. Little by little, there were concerts all year round and now becoming a section leader feels really nice! It’s great to be able to influence on the programmes a little bit, and I also want to cherish the work done by Eriikka Maalismaa.” <\/em><\/p>\n

ANNA SAARELAINEN, PRODUCER<\/h5>\n

Anna Saarelainen is a cultural producer currently completing her Master’s degree in Arts Management at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts. The foundation is supported by professional studies in classical violin at the Kuopio Conservatory. <\/p>\n

Saarelainen is an experienced and versatile producer. Her previous position was at a Central European agency, before Avanti! brought her back to Helsinki. <\/p>\n

“While working abroad, I took on every gig I could fit into my time and budget. The spirit of doing, curiosity, openness, interdisciplinarity, and courage – getting excited together so you don’t stay on the bench. I think these are the factors that ensure quality and staying relevant. It\u2019s wonderful to work in an environment like that. <\/em>.<\/p>\n

With Avanti, I think I’m in the right place at the right time.”<\/em><\/p>\n
