Peter's recital lived up to all expectations, and, at his encore, exceeded mine when he launched into some Flanders and Swann (including The Gnu Song).
Anyway, during the intermission, a friend informed me that MIESKUORO HUUTAJAT, Finland's Men's Choir Shouters, were going to be in town as part of Soundstream's Nothern Voices Choral Festival. Now, if May 10, 2004 wasn't one of my lying days, I've been excited about seeing them (or, at least, the documentary) for more than a year. It turns out they're performing tonight, sharing a billing with the apparently very talented (also Finnish) a capella vocal ensemble Rajaton. Off we go!
On the ticketing website, I just pressed the button labelled "Best available seats." This resulted in seats in Row A, Section 1. I wonder if this is calibrated for a performance by twenty shouting men. Wish me luck.
