The Finlandia Foundation South Bay Chapter doesn't usually have a summer event, as so many of our planners are vacationing in Finland, but this year we can offer you one that we are sure you will enjoy. Members Birgitta and Ulf Strom, music lovers and performers, have been kind enough to arrange the appearance of this distinguished choir, and Don Fidler secured the venue at the church. We owe thanks to them all. By now you should have received an email with the flyer.
What is "Walentina kören," which is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a US tour? Well, it is a mixed Finnish-Swedish choir currently counting 35 members, based in Helsinki. A large part of its repertoire is sung in Swedish, but they also perform in Finnish, English and other languages, and have been featured internationally.
Refreshments will be served after the concert. A $10 donation is suggested.
