Retuperän WBK



Anna-Maria Helsing’s younger colleague, Retuperä WBK’s artistic director Minna-Aria Häsling from Otaniemi in Espoo, now takes the conductor’s podium at the City Hall! This student orchestra, known as Retuperä, performs “newer French brass music” in interpretations grounded in humor and has, for decades, been almost a national institution. When the Vaasa City Orchestra meets WBK in this laughter-inducing encounter, a cheerful atmosphere is guaranteed, with tailcoats and rescue suits fluttering—especially when soloist Mari Pakarinen, a Vaasa native and the orchestra’s own trumpeter, shines in Alexander Arutiunian’s concerto.
