Step into a musical time machine! The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra welcomes you to a gala concert presenting exactly the same programme as the orchestra’s very first concert 140 years ago in October 1882. Kajanus is replaced by Storgårds, concertmaster Sattler by concertmaster Kauppinen, the Assembly Hall of the University of Helsinki by the Helsinki Music Centre, and the Grand Duchy by the Republic of Finland, but the concert pieces, their order and the philharmonic spirit are unchanged!
