Konsertti Suolahtisalissa

Sini and I went to a concert in Suolahtisali. Classical music for violin and piano. The venue itself is acoustically propably the best concert hall in the Middle-Finland. But there were so few people in attendance. The music itself was quite well performed. But for some reason classical music is becoming so sadly unpopular. Is the great tradition of the Western Music getting somehow marginalized? That would be disasterously unfortunate. Hopefully my fears are totally unfounded... The musicians Jonas Hirvelä (violin) and Jari Hiekkapelto ( grand piano) performed music of Handel, Franck, Faure, Elgar, Albeniz, Brahms etc.
