THE SECRET SIBELIUS

7.6.2026 @ 13:00 - 14:00

With his tone poems and symphonies, Jean Sibelius gave concert-hall-sized expression to a Finland searching for its identity. A different story resonates in his intimate chamber works: the central figure is no longer an entire nation, but a deeply sensitive artist and human being, whose most profound emotions are reserved for the intimacy of the salon.

In his early Piano Sonata, Sibelius portrays the grand deeds of a Romantic hero, while the Four Pieces, Op. 74, surrender to aphoristic moments of inspiration. The stormy Malinconia for cello and piano was composed in the midst of a terrible family tragedy, whereas the Lovisa Trio echoes with memories of youthful summers in seaside cottage landscapes.
