Composer and pianist Heikki Sarmanto, a leading figure in Finnish
jazz, has been Internationally acclaimed for his symphonic, orchestral
and jazz ensemble works, as well as numerous, distinctively personal
mixture of idioms from jazz, classical and ethnic music. In the 1960s,
Sarmanto studied at the Sibelius Academy and was the first Finnish
jazz musician to win a scholarship to Berklee College of Music in
Boston. In 1970, he was chosen Jazz Musician of the Year in Finland
and the following year he won top prizes at the Montreux Jazz Festival
in both piano and combo categories.
Sarmanto premiered "Suomi", his symphonic jazz poem, at Carnegie Hall
In 1988 with his own quartet and the New York Pops Orchestra. A decade
earlier, his "New Hope Jazz Mass", a work for mixed choir, jazz
ensemble and soprano, was commissioned for the opening of New York's
Saint Peter's Church. The work was also featured at the Newport Jazz
Festival.
In 1995 Sarmanto, premiered and recorded "Hearts", his concerto for
symphony orchestra and jazz ensemble, with the Finnish Radio Symphony
Orchestra. In the same year, at the Savonlinna Opera Festival in
Finland, he premiered his "Perfect Harmony", a massive work for
soloists, mixed choir and jazz ensemble, in collaboration with
librettist Gregory Allan Freelon, featuring New York's Opera Ebony.
In 1996 Sarmanto completed his commissioned operatic work, "Manon",
for the new Finnish National Opera in Helsinki. In 1996, Sarmanto's
and Freelon's "Perfect Harmony" was performed at the World's Largest
Snow Castle in Kemi, Finland, with Opera Ebony.
Sarmanto has more than 30 released recordings, numerous published
scores, and songbooks, as well as several film scores to his credit.
He has collaborated with jazz-legends such as Sonny Rollins, Art
Farmer, Helen Merrill and George Russell in addition to his work in
