Participating in the Junior Academy matinees and concerts

As a student of the Junior Academy, you will have the opportunity to perform regularly. See how to sign up for concert activities.

Students in the Faculty of Classical Music

As a rule, you should sign up for the Junior Academy matinees via the Taito channel at the latest on the Thursday of the week preceding the concert. You may sign up yourself or ask your teacher to sign you up for a matinee. Remember to agree on a performance with your own teacher before signing up! 

The Taito channel link for the spring semester 2024 will be updated here soon.

We will not accept signing up by telephone or via e-mail. Signing up should be considered binding – please do not cancel except in cases of illness or similar overwhelming impediment. Notify us about your illness directly to teppo.koivisto@uniarts.fi. Please note that the Camerata student matinees in the Taito channel are not intended for Junior Academy students. Instead, you may take part in your own teacher’s student matinee upon agreement. 

Students of Jazz, Folk Music and Global Music

Discuss signing up for matinees with your instrument teacher and the teacher-in-charge of your department. There is no need to fill in a separate registration form.
