Kullervo is a symphonic work in five movements by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, composed and premiered in 1892. The work blends large-scale orchestral writing with male-voice choir and baritone solo in a national-romantic idiom drawn from Finnish mythology, serving as an early and ambitious statement in Sibelius's career that helped establish his place in Finnish music history.
