RoWay-NorMania
CHAMBER MUSIC CONCERT
Tuesday 08.08.2023 at 19.00 KRAGERØ KIRKE
The cellist and concert organiser Krisztina Eikeset brings two fellow musicians from Kristiansand Symfoniorkester together with four musicians from Romania, and together they will carry out a tour of 14 concerts in various cities in both Romania and Norway in the summer of 2023. The concert at Kragerø Kirke is one of the 6 concerts to be played in Norway and is part of the intercultural project RoWay-NorMania. This project was launched by the cultural player Florescu -Fernandez & Friends Association from Romania in partnership with Eikeset med 4 Strenger from Norway. Its main purpose is to promote contemporary art and culture to a wide audience and to strengthen international cultural cooperation and transfer of knowledge, through the production of a variety of artistic events. The exchange of experience and the networking during this project are to help the two cultural players increase their own competence, also in cultural entrepreneurship, and to create new value in their local communities.
On the occasion of the RoWay-NorMania project, two chamber music works have also been commissioned from two outstanding composers from Norway and Romania. The Norwegian composer Stig Nordhagen and the Romanian composer Mihnea Brumariu have each composed a piece for different instrumentation, pieces that are to be performed at all the concerts, in addition to well-known gems from the chamber music repertoire.
RoWay-NorMania is supported by the EEA Grants 2014-2021, a funding scheme financed by Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
