Johannes Kreidler: The Wires (2016)
Kristine Tjøgersen: V (WP)
Therese Birkelund Ulvo Migration (WP)
Tanja Orning: Fuge (WP)
Tanja Orning – Cello
Inspired by Selma Lagerlöf's book The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, Kristine Tjøgersen’s work V recalls the flying formation of migrating birds and the relationship between man and nature. Rhythmic patterns transcribed from the wings of the geese transform the material between cellist and speakers on stage. Tanja Orning’s Fuge is a dialogue between one cellist and two cellos. Fuge is the Latin word for ´flee´, and is also a term used by psychiatrists to refer to loss of memory and an escape from familiar surroundings, while a musical fuge is a polyphonic form with independent voices. Therese Birkelund Ulvo’s Migration uses geographical points from the news flow of boat refugees in the Mediterranean as a point of departure. Musical material is linked to specific locations on the map. German composer Johannes Kreidler’s The Wires is an audio-visual catalogue of different types of barbed wire and ammunition.
The concert will be followed by a talk between Tanja Orning and the composers.
Supported by Kulturfondet.
