Heading to the shiny new halls of the Åsane Kulturhus, Borealis 2021 opens with a torrent of sound from Bergen and beyond, performed by the Royal Norwegian Naval Forces Band. Bergen's major Marte Mjøs persen opens the festival with a speech followed by a jump across genres and time to hear a new version of festival composer Ruth Bakke’s 1969 Passacaglia on "Draumkvedet" – an Old Norwegian folk tune; and Agnes Ida Pettersen’s jazz and improv inspired work Grums. From Venezuela, composer David Longa presents his large scale work Tau eines verwirrten Morgens, and from closer to home, Bente Hage performs Svein Henrik Giske’s virtuosic oboe concerto Vox Clara. Following the concert, join us for a socially distanced welcome drink and a dispersed programme of film and sound through the Åsane Library and Kulturhus, enjoyed with a crispy pizza on the side.
