If you happen to be in Helsinki during these concerts... and like a cappella music... renaissance/medieval style... recommended!

Mysterium- Christmas concerts: Lumen Valo @ the Uspenski Cathedral

Thu 16.12.2010 / 18:00

Sun 19.12.2010 / 18.00 and 21.00

Ma 20.12.2010 / 19.00 and 22.00

Tickets 20 / 15 € Lippupiste (or an hour before each performance at the venue)

IIRC the Uspenski has chairs at the concerts so you won't need to stand up the whole time.

They can be pretty popular and Uspenski is not huge... but it's breathtakingly beautiful! Been to their concerts twice. This has been their closing number, slightly more modern & traditional but fits the other material quite well.

Can't remember exactly, it's been a few years since I last attended - an hour and a half or so...? IIRC there's no intermission, since it's in a church. (On Sunday & Monday there are two performances... I'd assume they wish to leave an hour at least in between each night so as to allow for the change of audience etc)
