Esittely

What would May Day in the city be without a student cap on the Havis Amanda statue, a picnic in the park or the HPO’s May Day matinee?

What would May Day in the city be without a student cap on the Havis Amanda statue, a picnic in the park or the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra’s May Day matinee? This year, May Day revelers will be swaying to the rhythm of dance music from movies and musicals.
