Concert review :)... by Dominika

Write a description of one of the Finnish composers whose music is played in the concert.

Since I visited a ballet exhibition, they were playing only classical music there, and the most played Finnish composer was Sibelius. But we already spoke about him with Linda so I chose another one.

But I was especially impressed by Tuomas Kantelinen. He is a Finnish composer, who studied composition at the Sibelius Academy. He is best known for his scores for films, but he has also composed an opera, chamber music and orchestral works as well as music for television shows and commercials.

Here is a link to some of his pieces. Enjoy!

Write a review of the concert. Eg. What did you like? Why? Who were playing? What kind of music? By what composers?

On Monday December 11, at 6 o´clock p.m., I visited K-P:n Konservatorion Baletti – Joulunäytös. This Christmas ballet exhibition took place in Snellman Hall (Vingenkatu 18). The Snellman Hall is the main concert hall in Kokkola and home of the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra. The hall has approximately 600 seats.

It was actually my friend´s child´s performance. Every ballet school from Kokkola comes annually there to perform what children (ballet students) have learnt throughout the year. It was actually almost breath-taking. I have never been to something like that before. The whole hall was overcrowded, ballet dancers were dancing very well and even the music was really awesome.

Unfortunately, we don't know whos music was played. It was Finnish folk music, but we don't know the particular composers.

We liked the atmosphere of the concert, it was really nice. The music was also very nice, pleasant to listen to even though we don't understand the lyrics. The artists perfomed very well and they were really good performers. Unfortunately, we were only able to attend the concert for a moment, but it was really nice. There was Finnish folk music playing, but we don't know the composers.
