Did you know?

Prokofiev wrote his first piano composition at the age of 5, and started composing his first opera and overture at the age of 9.

Sibelius' Symphony No. 5 was commissioned by the Finnish government for Sibelius' own 50th birthday. His stature as a 'national hero' was such that his birthday was declared a national holiday!

The symphony's 'swan theme' showcases a bell-like tolling of chords among four horns that is said to have come to Sibelius after watching a flock of swans pass overhead. For more four horn action, don't miss Miracles and Triumphs later this month.

Composers have been inspired by birds for centuries; Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is one of the most famous examples, featuring imitations of goldfinch, turtle dove and cuckoo.
