In addition, with the support of major institutions such as the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, the French Institute of Finland and the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, the Orchestra aims to promote young talent in the classical music industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the central tenets of the Helsinki Chamber Orchestra is the importance of chamber music and the individual musical responsibility of each player.
