MAY DAY MATINEE

Spring comes with a swing, but the May Day matinee rests on the firm foundations of steadfast tradition. The threat of sleet and snow recedes, at least in the shelter of the Sibelius Hall, where we hear great music from the lighter side of the classical spectrum: exciting rhythms that are familiar and safe, hits that have stood the test of time.

The Lahti Symphony Orchestra’s May Day matinee is perfect for the occasion: sparkling melodies, pieces that call to mind May Day treats, classics with or without bubbles and chords with a sugar-coated finish. In short, the Lahti Symphony Orchestra wishes you a happy May Day again this year – in all seriousness, but not at all in earnest. The wait for spring is now over.
