Helsinki, Finland

Poor Jean Sibelius. Without ears, he can't even hear his own music even though it surrounds him at his own memorial in Helsinki. Fortunately, the rest of us do have ears. On Sibelius' birthday (today!) let's all try to figure out how Finland, small and on the periphery of Europe, has produced so much creativity for such a long time. [2005]
