Rymd Rhythms and Space Sounds
On October 22 I was fortunate enough to see Ronneby Blåsorkester in concert. I was even more fortunate because I didn't have to pay for the ticket. BTH had received some free passes, and after many mis-communications, I finally received my ticket (normally 100SEK) in my mailbox with just a couple of days to spare.
The concert had a space (rymd in Swedish) theme. Each piece had some connection to stars, planets, etc. The set list included works such as Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey, Space: Above and Beyond, and Mars from the Planets Suite. However in my opinion, their best piece was The Stars and Stripes Forever, a march by Sousa. The concert was at the Kulturcentrum and began at 6pm. Between each of the pieces, a visiting speaker from Kiruna Observatory would give a speech and slideshow presentation that was usually related in some way to the upcoming piece of music.
Here are the shiny banners with the kommun's star, river and moon logo on the music stands at the half-time break (paus).
