Student talks

In the Student Talks discussion series, Sibelius Academy students get their voices heard.

The themes of the discussion are the following

At 10:00: Sports as a Support for Groove – Insights on Physical Activity and Music

How does regular exercise or sports influence your playing? Students share their experiences and observations on how movement impacts musical performance.

At 14:00: Overcoming Crippling Stage Fright – Medication, Meditation, or Community?

Performance anxiety is real – but what works best to manage it? Students from diverse musical cultures discuss their strategies for coping with stage fright and finding confidence.

Welcome to join the discussions also on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 12:00 and 13:00, when Student Talks continues in the Main Foyer of the Music Centre.
The themes then will be: The Freedom and Fear of Improvisation, Who Has the Right to Redefine Traditions?

The conversations will take place in both Finnish and English.
