Savonlinna Orchestra
The Savonlinna Orchestra, the former Savonlinna Music Society, has long occupied a leading position in the musical life of the town, having functioned with a few brief intervals since 1915.
The core of the present orchestra is the string quartet (Savonlinna Quartet) founded in 1993, whose members, in addition to giving concerts, teach at the Savonlinna Music and Dance Institute.
For the orchestral concerts arranged by the Orchestra Society the quartet is joined by teachers and advanced students from the Music and Dance Institute and amateurs from the Savonlinna Music Society that was refounded in 1996.
The Savonlinna Orchestra Society has a long history of partnerships with the numerous local choirs and with other local establishments and communities engaging in music.
