Read MoreBust of Sibelius in a Finnish Park. Later that day we heard a composition by Sibelius played in the "Church in the Rock".
"Sibelius was a Finnish composer of the later Romantic period and one of the most notable composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His music played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity.
The core of Sibelius' oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies. Like Beethoven, Sibelius used each one to develop further his own personal compositional style. These works continue to be performed frequently in the concert hall and are often recorded." - Wikipedia
