Dear people,


Last night, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra had a concert which was very
much out of the ordinary.  
They were performing the Camille Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony.  
However there is not an organ in the place were the concerts are usually held.
They had the organist playing his instrument in a church elsewhere in
Reykjavík, and brought his performance via optic cable onto a huge movie
screen.  The organist himself was watching the conductor on a small screen
in the church.
This went all very well and the sound was reportedly very good.


Ah, the new millenium,

Kristinn Leifsson,
Reykjavík, Iceland
