midnight sun – kevo, finland

It’s the morning (afternoon, really, but daylight saving time be damned!) after our first classical series concert with our two Finnish guest artists, conductor Pietari Inkinen and violinist Pekka Kuusisto. In a previous post, I wrote about the often mysterious process of getting to know a new guest conductor and the factors which can complicate this often elaborate dating dance. I was withholding judgment, waiting to see what would develop, on Mr. Inkinen, at that time.  Now I think I have some opinions that can actually hold some water on the subject.
