kareinaIt turns out that the crowd of people sitting in the right hand wing of the church tonight are all with the same choir. Both of the songs the performed tonight are ones our student choir has done, yet they sound so much richer for having so many people in the choir.
We have wondered for a while now why it seems to be hard to attract and retain people who want to sing with us, and one hypothesis is that students today would rather hang out on line than actually go somewhere for an organised activity.
Looking at the people in the choir here, I would guess that the average age is at least 60, and quite possibly more. These people probably haven't developed and on line active social life, and are still happy to gather together to sing.
Or it could just having something to do with Skellefteå--I noticed that the Skellefteå Nyckelharpa group has at least three times as many people as the Luleå Nyckelharpa group.
