Tonight - Beethoven´s 9th

[Freyja]

Tonight, Reykjavik´s new music hall "Harpa" http://en.harpa.is/will open it´s doors for the first time. I´m incredibly grateful to have been granted the once in a lifetime opportunity to sing in the chorus of Beethoven´s 9th Symphony, along with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and under the conducting of Mr. Vladimir Ashkenazy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazy
The house is absolutely stunning and the view of the harbor and mountains is beautiful.
Just wanted to share my joy today

Thank you all. The concert was amazing. There were 1800 guests, including the presidents of both Iceland and Slovenia and most members of the Icelandic parliament.
Now it´s 1:15 AM I just came back home and am absolutely euphoric, as well as very grateful and humble for the unbelievably positive feedback we received. I´ll never forget this night!
