Through the Cultural Path program, every comprehensive school student in Mikkeli visits a cultural institution each year, welcomes guests from various art fields to their school, or otherwise participates in artistic and cultural activities.
The content of these visits and events is integrated with the schools’ curricula.
The Mikkeli City Orchestra tours all schools in the area, performing and sharing knowledge about the orchestra and orchestral music with students. During these events, the orchestra plays music from different eras and styles, while also introducing the profession of a musician. Students are encouraged to ask questions and engage with the orchestra.
The Cultural Path also includes a visit to Concert Hall Mikaeli to observe an orchestra rehearsal. This autumn, students will have the opportunity to follow the work of a larger ensemble during Saimaa Sinfonietta’s rehearsal on November 5, 2025.
