The Philharmonic at the Library

Musicians from the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra to perform chamber music at local libraries in November

The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra is once again teaming up with the Helsinki City Library for a chamber music tour in local libraries throughout the city this November.

Musicians from the orchestra will perform at twelve libraries, bringing with them chamber music from the early 1900s, Argentinian tangos by Astor Piazzolla, music for bassoon and electronics, and even a concert that combines storytelling and music. Each library concert will last approximately half an hour, and admission is free of charge. This is the fourth year of The Philharmonic at the Library tour.

The tour begins on Monday 6 November at Munkkiniemi Library and ends on Wednesday 29 November at the Rikhardinkatu Library. The concerts begin at noon or 6pm. The Philharmonic at the Library tour provides easy access to high-quality chamber music concerts for local residents in their own public libraries.
