Welcome to a short journey through the history of Western classical music starting from Baroque, travelling through the classical and romantic eras, and finally ending with a piece by the late Romantic and early-modern composer, Jean Sibelius.

Welcome!

Warm regards,

Ian

He is also part of Helsinki Syndrome, a young international band whose debut is to be released later this year.
