Effervescent musicality meets the ultimate in professionalism to create an
extravaganza that nobody could have
achieved alone.
‘We are relentlessly ambitious when we gather
up and thrust forward the voice, culture
and history of the performers in Fargespill.
(Kaleidoscope in English). Therefore, we select
the best; a first-class symphony orchestra that
has the flexibility and playfulness needed to
make this concert a milestone in our history’ ,
says Ole Hamre, one of two artistic directors of
Fargespill. Joining Fargespill in the medley are
two young classical soloists who will be playing
instruments on loan from Dextra Musica.
Fargespill are masters of combining expressiveness and professionality in order to create
vivid dramatic art. Children and youths bring
their unique expressiveness – a story to tell
through their own cultural inheritance. Their
story is given a professional framework in the
form of top-drawer artistic and technical staff
in order to elevate and give it momentum.
During the festival this principle is taken to new
heights as a symphony orchestra of international standing meets an animated eruption of 100
children and youths from 35 countries – who
together crash through social barriers and shatter musical boundaries.

A concert performance about spiritualistic séances and one of the most
infamous criminal mysteries in Norway’s
history.
Film director and playwright Harald Zwart, in
collaboration with composers Karoline Krüger
and Sigvart Dagsland and Veslemøy Ruud
Zwart, guide the audience through the world
premiere of a concert version of their coming
musical, Séance. It is inspired by the historical
battle between academia and new alternative
forces and the true story of Ingeborg Køber
(1895–1977).
Køber was one of Norway’s most famous
mediums. In 1934 she was accused of planning and carrying out the drowning of her own
father after first predicting his death during
a séance. The case received considerable
attention because the law, academia, church
and science challenged each other’s values; to
believe or disbelieve in the supernatural, and
if it is possible for the living to communicate
with the dead.
