Commemorating this event, the Swedish and Finnish governments have announced Märkesåret 1809 – a project to further reinforce the feeling of community between the countries and remind us of their common ties. Both countries have much in common culturally, which is being celebrated in a number of ways during the course of the year. Berwaldhallen is hosting a GALA EVENING with star performers from Finland and Sweden in a musical revue that features everything from Sibelius and Hugo Alfvén to Finnish tango and modern popular hits.
