Wind and rain
Sound garden Kampen (Photo RV)One of the fun things of carillon concerts is that circumstances aren't always predicable. In Gdansk we had ideal conditions, but when Frans Haagen performed Square Prayer last night in Kampen at the opening concert of the Beiaardfestival (Dutch), the wind was blowing the sound away from the listening garden.
The audience (real diehards) where sheltering under their umbrellas and were offered a cup of coffee during the concert to keep warm.
Actually, I had a very good time. I went out to the main shopping street (the shops were open) and saw people pointing to the tower and dancing in the street on the carillon music.
In which classical concert halls does this happen!?
