Sir John Eliot Gardiner brings a piece of Finland to Luxembourg.
What better composer to do so than the one whose birthday was chosen as the «Day of Finnish Music»? In 1915, Jean Sibelius composed his three-movement Symphony N° 5, inspired by swans crossing a lake for the elegant yet sad final theme: «Today I saw 16 swans. One of the greatest moments of my life».Tickets

Ahead of his performance with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg together with the Monteverdi Choir at the Philharmonie, we sat down with Sir John Eliot Gardiner for a new episode of our video series "The Art of Conducting" He talked to us about how the repertoire affects the gestures of conducting and music making, the sound of «period instruments» in today's orchestras, about the similarities between managing a bio-farm & leading an orchestra and much more!
