Spicy, raw and unadorned
version of music from a time
when Europa stood on the
brink of an abyss.
Norway’s uncrowned queen of
cabaret Tora Augestad steals the
audience back to Berlin during the
interwar period. Cabaret as entertainment and art form played a significant
and fabled role in those fertile and
fatal years of European history.
From Bar to Barricades follows
the threads of Arnold Schönberg’s
cabaret songs, Brettl-Lieder, with
servings of the 20th century’s most
cutting-edge vocal work Pierrot
Lunaire, also by Schönberg. In his
search for topicality and a satirical
view of his time it was biting in its
irony and demanded honesty in its
performance. Joining Tora Augestad
for this concert is the versatile pianist
Trygve Brøske in addition to her own
ensemble Music for a While.

Norwegian psalms meet jazz and
Afghan poetry.
Tord Gustavsen and Simin Tander perform familiar Norwegian psalms freely translated into the
Afghan language Pashto, and Sufi poetry which
is translated into English. Afghan-German
Tander is one of the most captivating voices
on the European jazz scene, and they are joined
by Gustavsen’s regular drummer partner Jarle
Vespestad and the ground-breaking trumpeter
Nils Petter Molvær.

Tord Gustavsen is acclaimed for his unique
musical style and he creates creative and lyrical
music that challenges the boundaries between
modern and melodic jazz. Psalm melodies have
shadowed Gustavsen from his childhood in
churches and chapels, and, he says, serve as a
powerful source of inspiration and new interpretations through life’s stages.
In Simin’s versions the familiar melodies take on
a mystical dimension through the sound created
in the beautiful Pashto language.
The interpretations also create political and
theological controversy when the contents of
psalm texts express a multi-faith universe when
impulses from Sufism, Tantra and Christian
mysticism are combined.
