Savolaisen Osakunnan Soitannollinen Seura SOSSu ry, or in short SOSSu,
|
||
is a student orchestra whose mission is to provide fun and entertaining
|
||
afternoon activities for all Savonian and Savonian-minded students of Helsinki!
|
||
Since this is the English version of the website intended mainly to be read by
|
||
exchange students who do not yet know enough Finnish, entering the orchestra
|
||
simply entails an open and curious mind with regards to Savonian culture.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The orchestra mainly operates as a part of University of Helsinki,
|
||
but students attending for example Aalto University are of course also more
|
||
than welcome. The premises used for practice are located in the very center
|
||
of Helsinki, on the top floor of the New Student Building which showcases
|
||
the beautiful architectural style of old Helsinki that can still be found in many parts of the city.
|
||

|

|
||
More than 30 instrumentalists play in our wild and free orchestra! Instruments
|
||
to be found in usual practice sessions include strings, brass, woodwinds
|
||
and percussion. Sometimes more exotic instruments can also be heard in specific
|
||
songs, including a typewriter and a sled!
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
At times, our orchestra divides into smaller groups (e.g. string, brass
|
||
and woodwind quartets), which travel to perform on separate gigs.
|
||
In addition, we also have our very own student dance group KELA.
|
||
</p>
|
||

|
||
Our repertoire is very wide, and doesn’t follow the borders of cities,
|
||
provinces, countries or even genres, but instead includes everything from
|
||
classical music to pop music and film music. In concerts you will hear pieces
|
||
like Finlandia, traditional academic dances and of course also party music
|
||
that makes you want to throw your hands up in the air! We often perform at
|
||
parties held by various student nations and associations as well as at
|
||
events organized by University of Helsinki itself. You might also be able to
|
||
spot us performing at various events like weddings and Christmas
|
||
parties held by private individuals and companies. Last but not least,
|
||
we travel to Sweden every year to attend an international student festival.
|
||
We also organize many events ourselves. With our the iconic traditional
|
||
gray jackets used by the Finnish military, comes a party that you definitely do not want to miss!
