3 February 2024 • Dokkhuset • Trondheim, Norway
NTNU Research concert: Music in landscape, and landscape in music
NTNU Forskningskonsert: Musikk i landskap og landskap i musikk
Dokkhuset, lørdag 3. februar kl. 14
Medvirkende:
Tore Størvold
Kim Arvid Leon Tran
Ellen Lindquist
Viktor Gosvali Wilhelmsen
Mennesker rundt omkring i verden tar i bruk musikk for å gi mening til landskapene de lever i, og for å forstå de økologiske systemene som de er en del av. Samtidig kan musikk tas i bruk som miljøpolitisk ytring, og som et redskap for å håndtere og bearbeide vanskelige følelser knyttet til klimaendringer og tap av naturmangfold. I møte med krisen som preger vår samtid har mange komponister og musikere begynt å tenke nytt: de skaper ny musikk for å finne nye musikalske veier inn til naturen.
Denne lørdagen på Dokkhuset møter vi komponist Ellen Lindquist og gitar-joiker Viktor Govasli Wilhelmsen. Begge arbeider med musikk, sted, og landskap på ulike vis. Lindquist og Wilhelmsen spiller og snakker om sin musikk sammen med forskere i økomusikkvitenskap, Tore Størvold og Kim Arvid Leon Tran. Sammen skal de prøve å finne ut hva vi kan lære av å arbeide musikalsk og kunstnerisk med ulike landskap. Kan musikken vise oss vei til mer bærekraftige måter å leve i og med naturen på?
Konserten har gratis inngang.

Fem Elementer/Five Elements
Fire komponister. Ett ensemble.
Fem elementer!
Til dette prosjektet har SiTron bestilt fire verk av fire forskjellige komponister. Alle komponistene er bosatt i Trøndelag, og representerer ulike musikalske ståsteder.
Konseptet spiller på de fire elementene ild, luft, jord og vann, og hver komponist er tildelt et element til å la seg inspirere av i vid forstand. I tråd med japansk filosofi er det også involvert et femte element; void. Void kan sees på som en energi, en kreativitet eller en samlende kraft, som i denne sammenhengen representeres av SiTron.
Ild: Eva Holm Foosnæs
Luft: Ola Kvernberg
Jord: Ellen Lindquist
Vann: Eirik Hegdal
Void: SiTron
Commissioned with support from Arts Council Norway.

Saturday 31 August 2024, 8 p.m. • Olavshallen, Lillesalen • Trondheim, Norway
för levande och döda
SiTron with Kathleen Flynn and Karl Peter Eriksson
SiTron (Sinfonietta i Trondheim) will perform the music from “För levande och döda”, with singers Kathleen Flynn and Karl Peter Eriksson.
Tomas Tranströmer’s poems form the foundation of “för levande och döda” —a devised music-theater work commissioned by Companion Star and Foundry Arts. Ellen Lindquist composed the work using a collaborative, improvisation-based process to develop material with a dedicated international ensemble of musicians and artists. All development work centered around Tranströmer’s work, in a series of development workshops in New York and Västerås/Ängsö, Sweden.
“för levande och döda” is an evening-length piece which moves fluidly through nine of Tranströmer’s remarkable poems, varying from intimate solo and small ensemble moments to full ensemble work.
On Saturday 31 August, in Olavshallen’s Lillesalen, SiTron will present a concert performance of “för levande och döda”, with singers Kathleen Flynn (Canada) and Karl Peter Eriksson (Sweden). Marte Huke will open the evening by introducing us to Tomas Tranströmer’s poetry.
Instrumentation: soprano and bass singers; flute/alto flute, oboe/English horn, clarinet, bass clarinet; trombone; harp, piano, percussion; violin, cello, contrabass)

Flute/Alto flute: Trine Knutsen
