Tore Renberg & Christian Ihle Hadland – «Ein kveld i regi av kunstens intelligens»

23.05.26 19:00, Riddersalen

At the top of the travel chest lie Renberg's poems and a bundle of piano pieces. Music and poetry will meet in widely different ways. They will hold each other in mutual iron grip, dance gently, or chatter away in earnest frivolity. Here comes the ode to the unborn grandchild, the theft-pack ballad about the clumsy youngsters and the funeral oration for the Trønder who got a passport to hell. In natural interplay with Domenico Scarlatti and Harald Sæverud.

Trond Viggo Torgersen & Kristin Helle-Valle

28.05.26 11:00

Trond-Viggo Torgersen and Kristin Helle-Valle Thursday, May 28th at 11:00

In the conversation event The Rest of Our Lives / Resten av livet, Trond-Viggo and his wife Kristin talk inspiringly and cheerfully about life, the body's aging and the transition to retirement – a phase that can be both liberating and confusing. With humour, life experience and solid knowledge, they take us into a chapter of life filled with opportunities, but also identity changes, new roles and shifts in relationships.

In collaboration with Kvinnherad Senior University

«Solokonsertane har alltid vore grunnlaget for mi musikalske karriere. Dei markerer byrjinga og slutten. Åleine med flygelet oppstår det ein særmerkt og nær kontakt med publikum som påverkar dei musikalske vala undervegs.» - Ketil Bjørnstad
