| Helsinki Cathedral |
On Thursday night, "art went to the bars" in Helsinki -- resulting in a choir tour meets pub crawl, with tons of choirs singing in more than 30 bars and restaurants throughout the night. The event started with a huge concert in the Senate Square, where, unfortunately, none of the songs were in English, so I felt a bit left out when all of the choirs and most of the audience belted out Finnish songs in unison. And, though I coveted event shirts worn by the bartenders, it was a great night, complete with a tasty margarita and performances of ABBA (with choreography), Sister Sledge's "We are Family" sung by a Finland's only female barbershop chorus, and "It's Raining Men."
