JEAN SIBELIUS

The name Fenlandia pays homage to Jean Sibelius’s orchestral work “Finlandia.” Just as “Finlandia” became an emblem of national identity amidst Finland’s struggle for independence, Fenlandia seeks to reflect the Fenland region’s unique character and heritage. By drawing parallels to “Finlandia’s” exploration of politics and cultural identity, Fenlandia aims to voice the cultural narrative of the Fenland people and their ties to this special region.
