As everyone is doubtlessly aware, 2015 will be the 150th anniversary of Sibelius’s birth. There’ll be lots of celebrations going on.

For more information see the Sibelius 150 website.

There’s going to be a piano recital in Mansion House on 30th January that will include music from Sibelius.

Ruth, the Swiss consul in Cardiff, has organised several such recitals in the past and they’ve always been popular and enjoyable. They’re always a sell-out so people will need to buy their tickets off Ruth beforehand.

The concert will be attended by the Lord Mayor and Erik from the Finnish Saturday School – he will be at the school on Saturday if you have any questions.

Mansion House, which is in Richmond Road, is an elegant building in its own right and well worth a visit.

For more information, please see the Mansion House flyer.
