I've mentioned before how lucky I've been to be able to sing with Musica Ficta. We get to sing at such cool events. I've seen much of Denmark the average Dane has never seen.
The other day, I was part of a quartet that sang in the Thorvaldsen museum for the "museum prize". I think it was an award to the best museum of the year or something. It was a huge event for the elite of the arts scene. We met an hour before the event and rehearsed two songs and then sang for the event. It sounded great and was a lot of fun. I can't help thinking how cool it is to be able to be apart of these "insider" events.
Thorvaldsen is the guy that made the Christ figure the church uses. If you didn't already know, he is Danish. I wonder if he had any idea what an amazing work he did in making that statue. What an amazing contribution! Here's a picture of the original in the Church of our Lady in Copenhagen (ironic title, huh?). There are also full size statues of all the original apostles in the same church. It's quite impressive.
Anyway it was cool. I thought I should write about it!
