Blåseensemblet and Tuva Syvertsen - Christmas Concert

Christmas holds a lot. At this concert Det Norske Blåseensemble invites you to an atmospheric pre-Christmas evening where well-known Christmas songs and hymns are given a new guise in the meeting between the ensemble, soloist Tuva Syvertsen and arranger, pianist and conductor Erlend Skomsvoll. The programme gathers some of the most beloved melodies from the Nordic Christmas tradition, such as Mitt hjerte alltid vanker, Det hev ei rose sprunge and Du grønne glitrende tre. The concert is a musical journey through the many moods of Christmas, from the intimate to the grand. For many years Det Norske Blåseensemble has filled the cultural centres of Østfold with Christmas spirit. As in all other music, the ensemble makes the familiar Christmas repertoire its own. That is its hallmark. This year they give the Christmas songs a new guise together with soloist Tuva Syvertsen. Tuva Syvertsen is the frontwoman of Valkyrien Allstars and one of Norway's most distinctive musicians. She plays the Hardanger fiddle and is a vocalist, with a unique musical expression. She has hand-picked the concert's programme together with the ensemble and conductor and arranger Erlend Skomsvoll. Erlend is an award-winning pianist, composer, conductor and arranger who unites different genres. Welcome to an evening where old melodies meet new expressions, in the special atmosphere that only the pre-Christmas season and the Blåseensemblet create.
