So another summer weekend has gone by. This one was quite calm for my part. No concerts or duties! I’ve been playing around, trying to get my creative juices flowing. I’ve got some work done too, though nothing completed yet. I really like it when I don’t have to rush anything, I can just sit down and play what I feel like.
A lot of my time has also gone to reading books. Today I finished a really good book that I’ve been meaning to read for many years now. I recommend it to everyone who’s interested in middle eastern politics or human rights or feminism. The Bookseller Of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad, is a touching story about a family that lives in Afghanistan. It’s based on true stories and is very well told! It’s not very long so you can almost read it in one weekend if you like. A very good book to read on an autumn weekend when you lie under a blanket and just want to escape to a warmer place!
Another cool thing that happened this week is that I had a small “concert” in the new Musiikkitalo in Helsinki! I was asked to perform a few pieces at a YLE Conference so they could hear how terrific the acoustics are. The opening of Musiikkitalo is going to be on the first of September and I think it’s going to be a really cool house. After my playing, I heard the Radio Symphony Orchestra play in the big concert hall, and it sounded amazing! I’m not usually into the kind of heavy classical music that they played (a piece by Sibelius), but this sounded so natural and beautiful! If you ever visit Helsinki, you should go listen to something in Musiikkitalo!
I think that’s all for now. Enjoy school or work or wherever you’ll find yourselves. Don’t let anyone take the Sundays away from you.
