A different kind of symphony orchestra.

Finland’s largest symphony orchestra devoted to popular music. A “free port” for Finland’s most skilled, versatile and bold musicians. A limitless repertoire from classical to rock, from jazz to musicals and popular music to film scores. Top soloists, elaborate arrangements and new commissioned pieces.

We are the Vantaa Orchestra.

The entertainment orchestra.

A tight community of over 200 freelance musicians, with passion for the highest quality music and producing unforgettable experiences. Boldly different, suprisingly versatile, always entertaining.

The Vantaa Orchestra is Finland’s most versatile full-range symphony orchestra. The players are selected from the top of their fields, ranging from classical music to jazz and rock. The Chief Conductor of the orchestra is Nick Davies, who has led numerous reputable symphony orchestras around the world, while the renowned composer and bassist Lauri Porra serves as the orchestra’s Artistic Partner.

From concert halls to clubs, from tv productions to festivals.

The Vantaa Orchestra is known not only as a home for top quality players and as a valued partner in the industry, but also as an organization devoted to great customer service. We have the ability to throw ourselves into areas and challenges that others can’t or won’t do.

We are an easily modifiable producer of high quality entertainment music experiences. Our musical virtuosity, adaptability and technical production know-how can be scaled from the biggest show arenas to tv productions and more intimate club and private gigs with performance options ranging from full symphony orchestra with rhythm section to smaller Vantaa Orchestra Ensemble compositions. Whatever the arrangement, we aim to provide the audience with experiences they have never seen before.
