We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our artists and collaborators for their amazing creative projects throughout the year and our audience for their continued support. In 2015 more than hundred artists from twenty-five countries have taken part in our forty-four productions, visited by more than five thousand people!
As we enter 2016 we are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of the commissioned piece “Traces of you” by Kristin Asbjørnsen, introducing a brand new collaborative project with Ablaye Cissoko (kora) – a famous Senegalese griot musician – and guitarist Olav Torget.
“Traces of you” has strong roots in West African music, folk songs, Nordic jazz and contemplative church music – revealing Kristin’s excellent work, fusing and developing musical genres to create her own atmosphere and distinctive style.
