J1. Bern Jodler Matinee 2 Oct

If we wanted to experience Swiss Culture then that was what today was all about. The Berner Jodler-Matinee was a concert performed in the Kulture Casino Bern - fabulous venue! It had not been well advertised and I found it by chance as I scrolled through all the local Jodler Club websites looking at their events calendars a few months ago. Despite some email correspondence we were unable to find any info on price, duration or content. Therefore we were delighted to have free seats on the balcony that faced the stage and a wonderful selection of typically Swiss entertainment that lasted about 3 hours. The choir costumes were really beautiful when seen up close.  
 
In the evening we went for a walk with our Airbnb hosts in the forest near our favourite little chalet. Later they shared their yummy vegetable pie with us and then we got onto the subject of Swiss choir music. Our host produced an old song book and Geoff photographed the songs which she played on the recorder.
