Vi avslutter festspillene med Magnificat, hvor Kvindelige Studenters Sangforening møter to av Norges mest toneangivende musikere – Ellen Andrea Wang og Hanna Paulsberg.

Korverket Magnificat er skrevet av Ellen Andrea Wang, og består av ti komposisjoner for kvinnekor, kontrabass og saksofon. Verket markerte Wangs debut som komponist for kor, og i konserten medvirker hun som både vokalist og bassist.

Tekstene er hentet fra Lukasevangeliet, og omhandler Marias overveldende opplevelse av det å skulle føde et barn: kjærlighet, tro, tvil, søken etter styrke, håp, glede og usikkerheten rundt hva fremtiden vil bringe.

Magnificat ble for første gang fremført i Molde domkirke, under Moldejazz i 2021. Vi gleder oss til å oppleve verket i Kongsberg kirke!

The Trondheim Soloists (Trondheimsolistene),Norway is one of the most exciting young ensembles performing on the international stage.

Through the orchestra’s dedication, commitment and enthusiasm it has quickly established itself as the most innovative chamber ensemble in Norway with invitations to collaborate with artists of the highest calibre across a broad range of genres. Together with the violinist Geir Inge Lotsberg as Artistic Director, the orchestra is now firmly recognised as being at the forefront of defining artistic quality in Norway.

Trondheim Soloists from Norway was founded in 1988 by Professor Bjarne Fiskum, and was for many years an arena for professional concert training for string players at the Conservatoire in Trondheim. The Artistic Director today is the violinist Geir Inge Lotsberg.

As a result of many concerts throughout Europe as well as concerts tours to the USA, Asia and Brazil, the Trondheim Soloists has grown to be an ensemble of international renown. Thanks to their innovative profile the Trondheim Soloists have received much critical acclaim and attracted attention with their combination of high standards, youthful vigour and lively enthusiasm for the music. The Trondheim Soloists' recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Anne-Sophie Mutter on Deutsche Grammophon has been praised all over the world. The orchestra's CD/Blu-ray disc "Divertimenti" is nominated for three GRAMMY Awards, 51th edition February -09.
