This concert hall overlooking the lake combines the old external brick facade of a former factory with an ultramodern interior. This is something the Finns are very good at doing. The concert hall itself is an acoustic marvel where no expense has been spared in ensuring the listener's expectations are fully met. The new organ , designed in French romantic... More

I can only recommend seeing a concert here. The hall and the surroundings are the best of what Lahti can offer. The Symphony Lahti orchestra do their regular concerts nearly every Thursday and you might get nice seats even booking quite late.

We went to Lahti for 2 concerts in the 2012 Sibelius Festival. The relatively new concert hall not only has fabulous acoustics, but is a magnificent building from an architectural point of view, and is enhanced still further by its location on the shore of a lake. The Lahti Orchestra is renowned for its performances of Sibelius and it lived... More

We saw Russian Ballet Starsin Lahti on Sept 1st. It was a nice highlight of mostly traditional ballet with a few contemporary interludes. The skills of the dancerswere top notch, they really wowed us with the performance. the program had one small hiccup with the video that was corrected in 3 secs. Music was pretty good

The sound in the Sibelius Concert Hall belongs to the very best in the World. If you have a chance to attend a concert (classic, jazz or popular musik) do it! You can also just have a lunch in their lunch restaurant and enjoy the wiev over lake Vesijärvi. The hall is situated in the small harbour of Lahti, and... More

Ever year since 2001 I have flown from the UK to Finland especially to attend the annual Sibelius Festival at Lahti in the wondrous Sibeliustalo. As you walk in you are met by the aroma of wood, then into the Forest Hall where in the ceiling are stars (lights of course) so positioned as they were in the universe the... More
