The traditional autumn tour jointly organised by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Helsinki City Library is starting its sixth year already, as HPO musicians set up their music stands in local libraries around Helsinki.
The hugely popular Philharmonic at the Library tour will kick off on Monday 6 October with a theme combining words and melodies at Malmi Library. The trou culminates on Thursday 30 October at Pukinmäki Library, where the HPO Horn Quartet promises to entertain its audience with evergreen classics and swinging quartet numbers. Between these concerts, there will be ten other concerts performed in different parts of the city, from Pitäjänmäki to Paloheinä and Vallila to Vuosaari.
The roughly half-hour concerts begin in the libraries at noon or 6pm, and admission is free of charge. Seating is limited, however, so audience members are encouraged to arrive early.
