This year the Nordic Council Music Prize jury met in my hometown Helsinki! Finland once again represented by Hannu Saha and me.
Finland’s candidates this year are Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio: Dajan and Sauli Zinovjev’s violin concerto The World Bearer. More info about all the candidates here: https://www.norden.org/en/news/here-are-nominees-2026-nordic-council-music-prize
Especially happy to have both the Färö Islands, Greenland and Åland on board this year!
The winner is announced in October.
