Beyond Whining: The Complaints Choir
The Finnish word
valituskuoro, which translates as 'complaints choir' describes the sound of a number of people complaining all at once. This sparked the idea of an actual choir, singing complaints set to music, for Finnish artists Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen and Tellervo Kalleinen. Shortly thereafter, the Helsinki and Birmingham (UK) Complaints Choirs were born in 2005, in very short order. The Helsinki Complaints Choir—dozens of people, dressed in formal wear—sang in a concert hall about what flat-out annoyed them: everything from people talking on their cell phones too loud to losing to Sweden in hockey. The idea caught on, and there have since been a number of complaints choirs in cities all around the world. You can see a comprehensive list of complaints choirs - many with videos - by clicking the picture above or
reading this article describing the development of the art.
