One
of the things I had hoped to do while we were here was visit Ainola, about an
hour outside of Helsinki. It is the
country home where Sibelius composed his music.
There are no organized tours to Ainola so our only option would have
been to take a bus and then walk to it.
In the end I decided against trying to go. We
did of course see the Sibelius monument here in Helsinki on the bus tour yesterday.

Today we went to a wonderful noon hour
concert at Helsinki’s magnificent new (3 year’s old) concert hall. It was two young piano graduates of the
Sibelius School of Music playing his music accompanied by a wonderful
photographic presentation of natural Finland.
Sibelius always tried to convey Finland’s natural beauty in his music.
