Here faith and doubt are treated through literary and musical poetry.
We promise great vocal artistry and masterful piano playing when four singers, three pianists and an organist share song treasures from the romantic era.
The main work of the evening is Gisle Kverndokk's new and life-affirming song cycle Singing Night - for four singers and piano four hands. The inspiration is taken from the romantic Lieder and romances with Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms at the forefront. The texts are eight love poems by Harald Sverdrup. In Syngende natt you can experience Kverndokk's singable melodies, his genuine word processing and a musical expression where genres meet.
