The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir and Håkon Daniel Nystedt
Love, faith, and mysticism
The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, led by Håkon Daniel Nystedt, closes the season with a program that brings together Norwegian folk music and works by Anton Bruckner and Richard Wagner.
The concert also features folk singer Martin Steinum Brun, one of Norway’s most distinctive voices on the contemporary folk scene.
The musical journey moves from light and spiritual expressions into darker, more mysterious landscapes before opening up again toward something new. Bruckner’s music serves as a recurring thread throughout the program, gradually transforming and leading into interpretations of Wagner’s Im Treibhaus and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde.
The concert is shaped by new arrangements by Håkon Daniel Nystedt and composer Ørjan Matre, created especially to connect folk traditions with classical repertoire in a unified experience.
