Laugardaginn 21. nóvember

On Saturday evening, we sat in the balcony of Langholtskirkja to hear Ludwig van Beethoven's Sinfónía nr. 9, í d-moll op. 125. Our friend Christine Schott is a Sópran in Háskólakórinn, and, as we found out when the choir entered, another friend, Björn Kozempel, is a Tenór. The symphony was powerful and captivating, but the singing was the highlight--particularly the four featured voices, a soprano, an alto, a tenor, and a bass. Afterward, we went out for a delicious Italian supper downtown. Nice way to end a day spent at the library.
