Eventually, he left the performing arts to a negative attitude towards the basis of the conservative laestadianism and sing premiered in the Ice-opera.Aarne Pelkonen tell in the video of his career.

Now, six years on from the first song of the competition, Pelkonen debuted in the national opera in January. He sang the lead role Ulla-Lena Lundberg Finlandia-award winning Ice-a novel based in the opera.

the Role is the fear of a natural, because he put in a small archipelago in the ward work which begins the priest. Spiritual background man is a graduate of the cantor, and studied church music.

I Can identify with the role, because I’ve seen that kind of life. The role is serious and there is a deep level. One that I gladly dive into.

Serious role in addition Pelkonen makes prefer comedy and sing lighter music. Despite the fact that classic song circles entertainment by the musical direction of shifting may be considered as skewed.

Pelkonen try to ignore music genres border on genuine. He believes that the limited thinking affect of fear, which he, again, is learned off.

I’ve made a big output, and the spiritual journey, so after many other things seem to be really small, he said.

Humor and friends have helped the singer to cope with a revival in the experienced heavy things. Also music has brought light and joy. I don’t know how to be any bitter, although I can see the past kipeätkin things. Everyone has his background and his path. For me, it was fine. Inka Soveri

my Background shows me still, and that education is a person in pretty deep. I don’t think that it will be able to wipe out, isn’t necessary. It’s a part of me, it’s all what is experienced and seen, he’s thinking.

the revival in growth was a lot of good things: building community, helping others, honesty, and transparency. Good basic values, which in addition to the motion there is also a strong music tradition.

Good things have survived in my life, although on top have come to a different lifestyle and values.

on the other Hand, has me sad, if, say, musical creativity is not afraid to bring out the community teaching. Or if your own sexuality to shame. Themselves and life’s good gifts should not be anyone to fear.

Pelkonen said he didn’t know very accurately why the performing arts are treated so strictly in the community.

– in performing arts, for example, the solo occurrence is such that lestadiolais new it perceived to be human worship. Feared perhaps, that the performer feels cocky, and safe I believe life anymore.

Process
