The brown-haired, blue-eyed conductor is definite Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Presume the other conductor is MTT? But he's noticeably taller than E-PS.

Rectangular detail of a mosaic. a band of black tiles around the left and bottom of the frame; a band of white tiles within that; a band of black tiles within the white band. The remaining tiles in the upper right form a rectangle and they're all white. Each tile is a very small, irregular square.

Placard on a wall saying Public Open Space, Public Sitting Area, Open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. M-FOutdoor bench and planter made of stone. Planter contains some plants. It's right in front of a building's exterior wall and under a large overhang, protected from rain.

One doesn't quite know what to say. The placard says that the seating area is Public Open Space from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's an outdoor, unfenced area that you actually can't keep people out of except, you know, by threatening force. I assume that the signage is boilerplate to give the building a reason to evict anyone who might, say, try to sleep there overnight, or just be there at 1 a.m. or whatever.
