Kvindelige Studenters Sangforening

Description

We close the festival with Magnificat, where Kvindelige Studenters Sangforening meets two of Norway's most influential musicians - Ellen Andrea Wang and Hanna Paulsberg. The choral work Magnificat was written by Ellen Andrea Wang and consists of ten compositions for female choir, double bass and saxophone. The work marked Wang's debut as a composer for choir, and in the concert she takes part as both vocalist and bassist. The texts are taken from the Gospel of Luke and deal with Mary's overwhelming experience of being about to give birth to a child: love, faith, doubt, the search for strength, hope, joy and the uncertainty about what the future will bring. Magnificat was first performed in Molde domkirke, during Moldejazz in 2021. We look forward to experiencing the work in Kongsberg kirke!
