Parties and Plywood
Music always plays an important role in celebrations like weddings. In today's show, we'll hear Mozart's "Haffner" Serenade, written for the wedding of a nobleman's daughter. But classical music also proved to be indispensible at another very different sort of celebration: the 25th anniversary of a plywood factory in Jyvaskyla, Finland. The proud purveyors of plywood hired Jean Sibelius to write them a piece of music in honor of the occasion. We'll hear his "Andante Festivo," from a concert in Toronto.
