HKO Screen –app

HKO Screen mobile app 

The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra'S HKO Screen mobile app provides mobile access to the orchestra’s concerts that are streamed online. The app allows users to watch and listen to concerts live online, return to concert recordings, listen to interviews with guest artists, and create their own playlists. At the moment, the app provides access to all of the orchestra’s concerts from the 2019-2020 season that have been streamed online, and more content is being added all the time. New concert recordings are published on the app as soon as possible after the live broadcast. The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra produces 12-14 live streams a year, 1-2 times a month.
