The second Helsinki Music Week is in the books.

Thank you to everyone who made it what it became.

HMW would not exist without the partners, friends, artists, venues, speakers, attendees, volunteers and crew who show up, support, buy tickets, open doors and help build this with us.

A very big thank you to our main partner , and to our home city for their support from day one. Big thanks also goes to , , , and . Your trust and support made this year possible.

Helsinki Music Week is the people who are part of it. Nothing more, nothing less.

We’ll take a moment to reflect, recharge and start building what comes next.
