In the Field: Finland Part 1

The latest installment of In the Field brings us to a country
that  has  exported a dizzying list of big name
composers and conductors in  the  last couple of
decades: Finland.


We’ll talk with established composers  and rising stars
about their music and the lasting influence of the  Sibelius
Academy.
