Jorma Panula 93 years

Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend a very special occasion - it was conductor Jorma Panula's 93 year birthday concert which he conducted by himself.

Jorma Juhani Panula (born 10 August 1930) is a Finnish conductor, composer, and teacher of conducting. He has mentored many Finnish conductors, such as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Mikko Franck, Sakari Oramo, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Osmo Vänskä and Klaus Mäkelä.
