BIT20 Ensemble is putting on another mini-festival – this time at Wergeland Kulturarena, in NRK’s former premises.
Last year’s mini-festival filled Marinehagen with a wonderful audience, great food, and music that both surprised us and made us laugh out loud. Now we’re doing it again – only differently.
BANZHA
Treat your senses and enjoy three small, vegetarian dishes served by Banzha, while the wonderful Bjarni Frímann presents more than a dozen world premieres performed by BIT20 Ensemble.
SAKTE, FALLENDE
Young Jazz Musicians of the Year and winners of the Jazzintro Prize, the quartet Sakte, Fallende moves between ambient, noise, country and bossa. This is what music journalist Audun Vinger wrote after seeing the jazz quartet live:
“Sakte, Fallende have a gorgeous and compelling sound that received an ecstatic response. This is a band I would recommend many people book.”
This evening, they’ll be playing on stage together with BIT20 Ensemble.
“Calling them a sensation might be a bit much, but it really wasn’t far off.”
— Audun Vinger on Sakte, Fallende
EVA PFITZENMAIER AND SIGURD FISCHER OLSEN
Eva Pfitzenmaier and Sigurd Fischer Olsen have written a new work especially for this evening. On stage: Eva Pfitzenmaier and BIT20 Ensemble.
AVGARDE
This year, Avgarde celebrates its 20th anniversary, and we’re marking the occasion with a series of two-minute miniature works by composers from Western Norway. Big ideas packed into small works, performed by BIT20 Ensemble.
