In his youth the composer Jean Sibelius spent several summers in Loviisa. The sun, the sea, summer and light filled him with impressions that were to inspire him for the rest of his life. This is also the frame setting in which international artists – and the festival audience – interpret Sibelius. The Loviisa Sibelius Festival is characterised by its warm, youthful atmosphere. Over the years, this traditional festival has brought a number of stars to the town under the management of artistic director Jan-Erik Gustafsson.
