Music rings out for peace

The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and Chief Conductor Susanna Mälkki express their support for the people of Ukraine in these sad times.

“Art is humanity, art is universal. But art is not neutral. The principles of democracy and freedom are the basis of community, society and all creative work. Music rings out for peace – and so it does now too”. – Susanna Mälkki

This week we will begin our concerts with a moment of silence.
