On August 4th I have something big coming up! I will have a new work premiered in Stavanger Concert Hall! Soprano Julie Hasfjord will perform the aria “Elises klage” (“Elise’s Lament”) as well as “Gi meg solen” / “Voggesang ved soloppgang” (“Give me the Sun” / Lullaby at Dawn) together with some brilliant musicians: Ashley Tong (violin), Sebastian Kolin (cello) and Jonathan Siahaan (piano) of the award-winning Heathcliff Trio will be joined by Elena K. Cotrone (violin), Xiaoti Guo (viola) and Ådne Sæverud (organ). The performance is part of a free concert featuring works by 8 composers invited by the festival Stavanger K&Mfest (big thanks!). This will be the first time I get to use the gigantic and majestic organ of the Fartein Valen hall (thank you!), and I am extremely excited about it! There is space for an audience of 1500 and I really hope the event can attract this many. With 8 composers and tens of musicians there should most definetely be music that will be music in your ears! Read more about the concert here. Hope to see you!
