This year's festival is kicked off by the rock legend Pepe Willberg. We'll hear world premieres by David Chaillou and Michel Runtz. Helsinki Police Symphonic Band will provide a large orchestral act and soloists include Konsta Hietanen, Olga Heikkilä and Gabriel Kivivuori Sereno. The programme is of course complemented by a range of front line performers from veterans to newcomers.
