Emerging Finnish Tenor Jacob Waselius, of rising demand in Finland, is moving up in the world of music with recurring engagements at Vaasa Baroque-festival this season as well as succesful solo-recitals through coastal-Finland. In past seasons Jacob has performed as a soloist in Madetoja's Pohjalaisia, Mozart's Requiem, Händel's Messiah, Kentala's Morsiustaivas, Caccini's La liberazione di Ruggiero dall'isola d'Alcina and Stradella's La forza delle stelle, as well as many smaller productions during his studies. With a long choral background Jacob has sung as a chorus member in great productions of Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Mozart's Requiem, Cosí fan tutte and Die Zauberflöte and Händel's Messiah as well as the 2018 recordings of Beethoven's Mass in C-major and Meerestille und Glückliche Fahrt with Turku Philharmonic Orchestra for Naxos. Together with pianist Richard Mitts, Jacob gives recitals all over Finland, concentrating mainly on the Nordic traditional romances but also bringing the legendary Italian opera arias to his audiences. Born in Kauniainen he studied Maritime Management in Turku before returning to music with studies at Turun Konservatorio with Jouni Kuorikoski and continuing at Novia University of Applied Sciences with Lasse Penttinen graduating in June of 2023 to great acclaim.
