If yes, read, look and listen to Teemu Kupiainen.
His diary Viulunsoittaja kadulla (Fiddler on the Street), illustrated with lovely photographs by Stefan Bremer, tells about his travels in disguise of a street musician playing Bach in China, India, Maroc and France.
No, not in disguise – he, the viola and chamber music teacher at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, WAS a street musician, trying to live with money he got from the audience who could be a garbage collector in Hongkong or the music professor in Paris. Or a lonely cow in India.
This well written book is more than a story of everyday happenings: it is a journey to your inner self. It is sensitive, emotional, funny, painful, comforting.
When you read it, time stops.
There is only music.
Light.
Eternity.
