This evening we’re in for a culture crash. Erlend Skomsvoll wrote the work Clashes for Ensemble Allegria in 2015 during a great migrant influx, and the work was premiered at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival. For Clashes we have the sparkling Ida Hidle as accordion soloist. Afterwards, we allow the huldra to visit us through Trygve Brøske’s Huldreslåt, before lions and elephants, fish, donkeys, the cuckoo and not least the most beautiful swan visit our concert: Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals is very well known to many of us. We predict a fresh, catchy and perhaps unexpected version with some of Norway’s leading chamber musicians.
