The symphonic and choral compositions of Sibelius and Rautavaara will grace this performance, depicting the journey of Finland from its birth to the highly-developed modern country it is today. This concert will bring joy to Finns and non-Finns alike! Join the BSO and the Suomi Finland 100 Chorus at Bloomington’s newest concert venue, the Ives Auditorium at the Masonic Heritage Center.
