Petri Sakari (b1958)

The Finnish conductor Petri Sakari was born in Helsinki in 1958 and started his musical studies as a violinist, later beginning his conducting education at the age of fourteen. He graduated in conducting from the Sibelius Academy in 1981 under Jorma Panula, and later also as a violinist, studying further at the Aspen Music Festival in the United States of America and attending seminars with Franco Ferrara and Rafael Kubelik. He is a frequent guest conductor with leading Finnish orchestras such as the Finnish Radio Symphony orchestra and other leading Scandinavian orchestras and also regularly conducts opera and ballet, notably the Finnish National Opera and the Gothenburg Opera. Outside Scandinavia he has conducted in England, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Romania, the United States and Mexico. From 1977 to 1993, he was Chief Conductor and Music Director of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, returning to this position in 1996. Together they have previously recorded the complete symphonies of Leevi Madetoja and orchestral works by Sibelius, Uuno Klami, Hugo Alfvén, Edvard Grieg and Icelandic composers, notably Jón Leifs.
