Concertgebouw Orchestra Essentials: Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2

About the Event

Revel in the expansive grandeur of Sibelius' immense Second Symphony. Stéphane Denève conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in a truly epic work.

Inspired at least in part by a sojourn in Italy, the Second Symphony nonetheless retains a profound connection to the composer's homeland and its landscape. The connection was not missed by Sibelius' compatriots, many of whom heard in its powerful finale a call to resist Russian dominion in Finland.
