Every great company began as a dream drawn on paper, just as music begins on sheet music. Today, we honor the country's entrepreneurs and large companies that, with vision and effort, transformed ideas into realities.
This month, we connect with that creative energy through the interpretation of three works:
- Olympic Overture by JM Kraus
- Holberg Suite by E. Grieg
- Symphony No. 5 by J. Sibelius
The Olympic Overture by JM Kraus is a vibrant and majestic work composed in 1788 to celebrate the ideals of the ancient Olympic games, highlighting its energy and solemnity with a classical structure and brilliant orchestration. Holberg Suite E. Grieg's The Suite, written in 1884, is a neoclassical suite evoking the Baroque style in homage to the Norwegian playwright Ludvig Holberg, combining elegant dances with Grieg's characteristic Nordic lyricism. For its part, the Symphony No. 5 by J. Sibelius, composed in 1915, is an epic and deeply evocative work, where the Finnish composer creates soundscapes that reflect the grandeur and beauty of nature, culminating in a triumphant and imposing finale.
