Victoria Polevá: Eirene
World Premiere of Victoria Poleva’s Eirene in Turku From November 12 to 14, 2026, the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates the grand opening of its brand-new music center, Fuuga, in Turku, Finland. The absolute highlight of these gala concerts is the highly anticipated world premiere of Eirene (Peace) for symphony orchestra, a new piece written by the renowned Ukrainian composer Victoria Poleva. Commissioned specifically for this historic opening, Poleva’s Eirene represents a profound musical call for peace and reflection, perfectly matching the monumental emotional weight of the occasion. Led by Chief Conductor John Storgårds, the orchestra will bring Poleva’s spiritual and deeply evocative sonic world to life, standing alongside major works by Richard Wagner, Jean Sibelius, and Alban Berg.
