Sibelius (1865-1957, Finland) FINNISH & BALTIC SYMPHONIES From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Jean Sibelius (1865-1957, Finland) Born in Hämeenlinna. Slated for a career in law, he left the University of Helsingfors (now Helsinki) to study music at the Helsingfors Conservatory (now the Sibelius Academy). His teachers were Martin Wegelius for composition and Mitrofan Vasiliev and Hermann Csilag. Sibelius continued his education in Berlin studying counterpoint and fugue with Albert Becker and in Vienna for composition and orchestration with Robert Fuchs and Karl Goldmark. He initially aimed at being a violin virtuoso but composition soon displaced that earlier ambition and he went on to take his place as one of the world's greatest composer who not only had fame in his own time but whose music lives on without any abatement. He composed a vast amount of music in various genres from opera to keyboard pieces, but his orchestral music, especially his Symphonies, Violin Concertos, Tone Poems and Suites, have made his name synonymous with Finnish music. Much speculation and literature revolves around Sibelius so- called "Symphony No. 8." Whether he actually wrote it and destroyed it or never wrote it all seems less important than the fact that no such work now exists.

    fter finishing high school in Embarrass, Minnesota, Pastor Melvin Johnson enrolled Aat Suomi College and achieved an Associate of Arts degree. “I owe Finlandia, then Suomi College, a significant measure of gratitude for jump-starting a mediocre high school academic interest into a serious pursuit of quality education,” Pastor Johnson notes. “All credits earned from Suomi College transferred when I enrolled at the University of Minnesota Duluth,” where the Pastor graduated with honors and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature. Pastor Johnson’s post-graduate studies began with enrollment at Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Upon graduation with Master of Divinity honors, his first parish was a three-point parish in northeastern Help Continue Minnesota. “A course in Finnish grammar at Suomi the dream of excellence proved to be very beneficial because pastoral Finnish ministry was essential in each congregation,” the Pastor affirms.
