Thorvaldsdottir’s concerto features soloist Johannes Moser, hailed by classical music magazine Gramophone as “one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists.”
Beethoven's music has often accompanied major turning points in European history. The Seventh Symphony was performed in November 1989. Three days after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin Philharmonic played it at a concert for East Germans. The concert was free; all you had to do was show your GDR identity card at the door of the Philharmonie. Already at four o’clock in the morning, a long line had formed around the concert hall.
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.
