Kristjan Järvi is the visionary founder and musical director behind Nordic Pulse. With roots in classical training and a lifelong passion for transcending tradition, he brings together musicians who share his spirit of curiosity and fearlessness. Hand-selecting performers from his many past projects, he has created a bold, boundary-blurring collective that thrives on collaboration and discovery.

As Kristjan describes it, Nordic Pulse is “a handpicked group … who operate as a band” — a creative lab where fully original productions are born. Under his leadership, the ensemble merges the discipline of orchestral heritage with the freedom of improvisation and the vitality of contemporary culture.

Beyond the stage, Kristjan has carried the Nordic Pulse ethos into film and stage scores, immersive multimedia experiences, and international tours, always seeking to connect people through shared rhythm and resonance. For him, Nordic Pulse is not only an artistic project, but a living philosophy: a celebration of unity, vision, and the power of music to shape the future.
