20th Anniversary Choir Concert


Helsinki chamber choir Kampin Laulu, which specializes in music by contemporary composers, will be offering its 20th anniversary concert tomorrow evening.



Terve Maria is the title of the concert, at the Vanha Kirkko (Old Church, central Helsinki), 24 April, 2010, starting at 7pm. Tickets are 20 euros. The program features major choral works such as Einojuhani Rautavaraa’s Magnificat and Benjamin Britten’s Hymn to Saint Cecilia, as well as the premiere of a new composition by Kampin Laulu’s conductor Eric-Olof Söderström. There will also be some shorter pieces by Part and Brahms.


I am singing the lowest bass parts with this choir, which has released numerous CDs in recent years. Here is a link for further information about Kampin Laulu:
