In August I was working again as a first concertmaster of the Lappeenranta City Orchestra.
After the traditional season opening in Lappeenranta, we made a concert trip to Vyborg, Russia. Our soloist, soprano Angelika Klas, and our chief conductor, Vytautas Lukočius did a wonderful job, and the public was visibly satisfied.
In the last week of August was organized a Meditation concert, which I was leading without conductor. We had a great success: The about 700 places of the Lappeenranta city hall were full, and the atmosphere was incredible as this amount of people were silently meditating with the peaceful music.
