Familiar love songs echo in our libraries as the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra (HPO) Horn Quartet surrenders to the charms of romance. In the greyness of November, passions flare and emotions heat up as the HPO Horn Quartet plunges into the intoxication of love and the yearning for romance. Instead of overwhelming with a flamethrower, we get into the mood with beloved romances. “The power of love is invincible." – Eino Leino The Philharmonic at the Library Chamber music comes to Helsinki libraries as the The Philharmonic at the Library tour, organised jointly by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and Helsinki City Library, begins on 2 November.
