About This Event

鈥淚 believe that music alone 鈥 that is to say, absolute music 鈥 cannot by itself satisfy鈥 wrote Jean Sibelius and his music is engaged in a continual dialogue with other artforms: poetry, drama and the folklore of northern Europe. At the start of our Total Immersion day, musicians from the Guildhall School perform Sibelius鈥檚 songs and melodramas 鈥 still under-appreciated in the English-speaking world.

We鈥檒l hear songs and poems spanning three decades of creativity: tales of nature, of supernatural encounters and of love, sung in both Finnish and Swedish. And there鈥檚 a rare opportunity to hear two of Sibelius鈥檚 melodramas 鈥 spoken-word poetry set to a powerfully evocative score, opening a whole imaginative world in a few minutes of words and music.
