Get ready for Olav Tryggvason’s Ouverture and other sidekicks.

Remember to get your cinnamon bun on the way.
The music of Emanuel Bach and the novels by Laurence Sterne have some fascinating similarities, both in their expression and in their structure. In the light of poetry by Are Frode Søholt, Ingrid reflects on how distance in time and culture may be perceived exceedingly irrelevant.
(C. P. E. Bach: Sonaten für Kenner und Liebhaber, Are Frode Søholt: Luftorkester, Laurence Sterne: A Sentimental Journey, Ingrid Hagen: Clavichord, reading and reflections. Instructor and supervisor: Ragnhild Gudbrandsen.)

The first radio program in the series on music and emotion by Mari Giske was broadcasted by the Norwegian public service broadcaster, NRK P2 on Easter Monday (6th of april).

On Sunday 8th of March, we celebrated him with clavichord music, hats and balloons in the beautiful Blumenthal room at Kode 3.

Reading this is great fun and very informative, but how on earth are you supposed to implement all this information while playing the piece? And – is it possible at all to convey the information to the audience?
Come join a new experiment aiming at a little deeper dig under the musical surface.
The concert was arranged in collaboration with Bergen City Museum, on November 3rd 2012.
