Portable Passport System at Finn Grand Fest 2010

The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has now an operational portable passport system! This system will first be sent by the Finnish Embassy in Ottawa to the Consulate in Vancouver and after that to the Consulate in Toronto.

The Embassy will also make the portable passport system available at the Finnish Grand Festival in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. The purpose is to provide passport service to the Finns living both in Canada and in the US. The embassy will send an additional press release containing detailed schedule and instructions closer to the event.

Press Release in Finnish.

Rajaton

The Finnish word Rajaton translates as "boundless" – a word that so accurately describes the way this six-voice a cappella ensemble approaches music. Regularly performing over 100 concerts and workshops each year, Rajaton exposes audiences to the kind of diversity of repertoire, singing style, and stage presentation that has made them a phenomenon on the world stage.

In their native Finland, Rajaton is a bona fide pop phenomenon, successfully bridging the gap that often exists between classical and mainstream convention. The group has released 10 different albums. In 2003, Rajaton rose to number 2 on the charts with their album Joulu ("Christmas") which has to date sold double platinum in Finland. Building on the momentum of this mainstream success, in 2006, the group recorded Rajaton sings ABBA with Lahti Symphony Orchestra, an album which topped the charts in Finland and sold platinum in a month.

Rajaton will be performing at the Essar Center Friday, July 30th at 7pm, tickets are available to registrants of Finn Grand Fest 2010 and will be available on a first come first serve basis. There is limited seating, so register for Finn Grand Fest today and get your Rajaton tickets!
