History

Fennica Gehrman’s roots stretch back for a hundred years of publishing Finnish music. Fazer Music was founded by the Swiss businessman K. G. Fazer in November 1897 when he purchased Anna Melan’s music shop in Helsinki together with R. E. Westerlund. The following year they turned to publishing.
