How many conductors does it take to open a concert season? All three members of the orchestra’s Artistic Leadership Team conduct Daníel Bjarnason's piece, which was inspired by the words of Yuri Gagarin admiring the beauty of the Earth through the window of his space capsule: “Let us preserve this beauty, not destroy it!” The same message is present in Composer-in-residence Samy Moussa’s overture, that is receiving its first performance in Europe.
Yes, but only before or after the concert. During the concert we just want you to enjoy the music. This way you won’t disturb the musicians or other audience members.
Only the orchestra has a dress code. You can dress as you like.
You can give the ticket to a friend or donate it to a music student by calling 09-3102 2700 or sending an e-mail to helsinki.philharmonic@hel.fi by 3pm on the day of the concert.
