Philharmonia Orchestra & Rouvali & Montero

Philharmonia Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the Mikkeli Music Festival, performs at Helsinki Music Hall during its 2026 tour. The orchestra is conducted by its chief conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, with Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero as soloist.

The programme features Montero's Piano Concerto No. 1, Latin Concerto, making its Finnish premiere, and Camille Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3 op. 78 on the Music Hall's organ. The concert also includes Montero's improvisations, which have become her international trademark.
