Symphonic Roses & Boundless Music

Last weekend, I went to another concert with the Phoenix Symphony.  This time it was a "pops" concert featuring the music of ABBA.  Being a long-time ABBA fan, I was thrilled to see this Finnish group called Rajaton perform some of ABBA's best songs.

The Finnish word "Rajaton" translates as boundless and that word truly sums up the talents of this a cappella group.  Yes, the orchestra did accompany them on most songs but they also did several a cappella and I have to say, their talent truly is boundless.

Needless to say, there was a lot of toe-tapping, clapping, arm waving and dancing in the aisles going on at this concert.

After their performance, they signed copies of their CD's for those who purchased them and that gave me an opportunity to snap a photo of them.  The group has released 17 different albums, one double platinum, three platinum and eight gold records in Finland.  In 2019, they celebrated 22 years of music-making.

Oh yes, those roses made from sheets of music were on the cocktail tables in the Symphony Hall lobby.
