Til Trøst with Haddy Njie
About the concert
All Saints is a time for remembering those we have lost. But in grief it can often be hard to find the right words. The ensemble SØLV has chosen beautiful and immediate baroque music that reaches in where words fall short. Together with Haddy Njie they offer the audience a memorable and powerful concert. Loss and grief, but also the ability to let go and find comfort, are conveyed through stories, poetry and very special sounds. The ensemble SØLV has a unique line-up of baroque instruments that sound unlike anything else: viola da gamba, lute and two viole d’amore, the instrument of love. This instrument got its name precisely because of the special sound it creates with its sympathetic strings that resonate with it - like on a Hardanger fiddle. With selected poems and stories, Haddy Njie invites the audience to surrender to music that has touched people, given comfort and created joy through the centuries.
