Sibelius’ music immediately connects us to Finnish forests, lakes and mountains. It is the Sound of the North, distilled into poem and symphony. But what specifically in the score helps us make that connection? What devices and tricks does he use? And how did Nielsen, a proud Dane, emerge from the Finn’s shadow?

Pre-concert Talks are extremely popular this season, so please book a ticket in advance and arrive early to guarantee your seat.
