Vidzeme Augstskola´s Christmas Concert

Today was a concert day with, again, very fancy persons making a round of songs, mainly about Christmas (as you can guess with the name).
What could I say? Clearly here singing is a very popular habit and something very attractive because many events and like every institution (from primary school to college) makes singing events, like in this time. Another thing is that people always go so gorgeous! while I´m wearing my jacket!
Well, I will give my impressions as the images progress. The order of the events goes from up/down (logical):

Ah, yes. The event had its caritative part showing animals in deed. Lovely creatures who seeks love.

And another fun fact. There are always presenters, and they always make show in the scenario. One of two: or they dress fancy or they are wearing some kind of costume as seen here. And I´m having this in mind due it´s for a town of less than 300000 inhabitants!

Intro event. A Christmas song.


Almost everyone were singing. Alone...

...with instrument company...


...or doing both things at the same time.





Folk groups made their function too. It´s also interesting, to see folk coreographies in other kind of concerts. Means many significance about this, don´t you think? people feels very heartwarmed with the folk traditions.

And some singers got an amazing pitched voice...

...or piano talent.


Aside of music, there was a time for humour...a pity that I couldn´t understand anything (ups)...


...but clearly they should be funny, as people laughed many times.


Folk dance round 3!

Some singers made appearance in more than one function. Brave they were! Christmas songs most of the time, by the way.


And the last folk dance. This was a new one...yes, I´m starting to remember the music and the dance steps of the folk groups!


And as closing show. All the people singing a final latvian Christmas song! because, by the way, many of the songs sang in the show (like half of them) were actually english songs which double the effort of these people.
Merry Ziemassvētku from Valmiera! Again! Keep taking care of animals (specially in a city where cats are common walkers in the street, not as common as in Riga but still)!
