Jean Sibelius
Portraits by Yousuf Karsh


Jean Sibelius (1865 - 1957) . Composer, born in Tavastehus, Finland. He turned from law to music, studying at the Helsinki Conservatory, Berlin, and Vienna. A passionate nationalist, he wrote a series of symphonic poems based on episodes in the Finnish epic Kalevala. From 1897 a state grant enabled him to devote himself entirely to composition, and his seven symphonies (he destroyed his eighth), symphonic poems - notably Finlandia (1899) - and violin concerto won great international as well as national popularity.
