Lunch with culture: A Dream Within a Dream

Description

A Dream Within a Dream is a concert with music revolving around dream, longing and reflection. The title is taken from Edgar Allan Poe's poem of the same name, and points to a programme in which text and music are at the centre. Øystein Stensheim and Petter Richter perform a varied repertoire with music by Marcus Paus and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, among others. The programme contains both newer and classical works, and shows the many expressive possibilities in the meeting between voice and guitar – a line-up that gives intimacy, transparency and great richness of sound. The concert offers music with lyrical, dramatic and contemplative expressions, and invites the audience to an hour in which words and tones are in focus. Øystein Stensheim is one of Norway's most sought-after tenors, with a broad repertoire ranging from baroque and church music to opera, chamber music and contemporary music. He is a frequent soloist with the country's leading orchestras and ensembles, and is particularly known for his commitment to outreach and his strong presence on the concert stage. Petter Richter is regarded as one of Scandinavia's leading classical guitarists. He has performed at venues such as the Berliner Philharmonie and Festspielhaus Salzburg, and combines an international concert career with his position as associate professor at Norges musikkhøgskole. In recent years he has made his mark both as a soloist, a chamber musician and as an active advocate of new music for guitar. The concert series is a collaboration between Gamle Raadhus Scene, Vegard Lund and Oslo Quartet Series.
