On 8th of October, i went to see the music concert, which name is Centria Night Music at Kokkolan Conservatory. It was first time for me to see the Finnish concert. I got the pamphlet written by Finnish, so it was hard for me to watch it where the artist was playing at that time. However the pamphlet have lyrics, so it was interesting that I could listen and read Finnish song at the same time.
During this concert, I could some songs written by Jean Sibelius. He was one of the famous Finnish composer and he is essential person for independent of Finland. He was born in 8th of December, 1865 in Swedish speaking family in Finland. Therefore his mother tongue is Swedish. When he is 20 years old, he entered Helsinki Music Institute (now the Sibelius academy). He had studied music there for 4 years. After graduate, he continued studying in Berlin and Vienna. On 28th of April, 1892 he was premiered and got enormous success.
In this concert, the main style of playing was opera. In addition, the concert hall was small, so I could head the great voice directly. I couldn't understand the lyric's meaning, but I enjoyed great time.
