Musiikkitalo - concert and event venue

The Helsinki concert hall is designed in terms of acoustics. I've tried every section of the hall and everywhere you can hear the music clearly, even in the top parts behind the orchestra. The Concert Hall have a very sophisticated microphone setup and excellent speaker's to take care of that.

This consert hall is designed very well in terms of acoustics. I've tried every section of the hall and everywhere you can hear the music clearly, even in the top parts behind the orchestra. They have very spohisticated mic setup and amplifiers to take care of that. The cafe is quick and cheap on intermissions, I've always had time to enjoy some soda and pastries. The Helsingin Kaupunginorkesteri and Radion Sinfoniaorkesteri conserts are very cheap, starting from 10e per ticket and they play very well. I've found many new pieces of music from their concerts that probably would have never heard otherwise. Free cloakroom service, free printed programmes, excellent service at every step on the way.

A remarkable building. I didn't manage to listen to any music, but can only imagine the music acoustics.

Stunning concert hall, superb acoustics, and adventurous programming. Tonight's concert, which ended with Stravinsky's Firebird, was sublime --poems, stories and music in conversation.

Inexpensive lunch option. Stumbled upon reasonably priced cafeteria style lunch. Full plate which includes bread and milk or water is 12euros. They had meatballs, some sort of chicken dish, vegetable patty, mashed potatoes, rice, salad, etc. which changes daily. Door is to the left of the main door on the square. There is also an atrium to the right (cafeteria is not there). May 2025

Beautiful and elegant building!

The Helsinki Music Center is another typically snazzy and striking piece of Finnish architecture. It is the city’s premier venue for classical music concerts. The building comprises various cuboid glass sections and is topped with a sloping grass roof. Helsinki Music Center’s main concert hall is famed for its vineyard-style terraced seating design. The music center is also home to the renowned Sibelius Academy, where budding Finnish musicians learn their trade.

One of the best places to see something special. The new organs are really cool.
