Rhythm-Rain in the city centre.
m
Just like the Pied Piper of Hamelin,
BIT20 percussionists will stand in
Bergen centre and lure in 100 children placed around town, each with a
pair of claves (wooden dowels). The
alluring rain of rhythm that slowly gathers around the BIT20 percussionists
gradually evolves into the children’s
own compositions that they have
worked on during the week through
BIT20’s “We Compose!” programme
for schools..
Satellite
The starting point of the concert
and the children's compositions is
Ole André Farstad's concept work
Wonderful Wood, which focuses on
the sounds of wooden materials.

Beautiful tones from an
exceptional baroque duo.
Originating from their different spheres, mezzo-soprano Andrea Pellegrini
and Bjarke Mogensen on accordion
make an unlikely duo, but on the
stage it feels as if they were meant
to perform together.
Andrea Pellegrini has inspired many
opera productions with her humour
and ability to communicate with an
audience. Her interest in merging different art forms and bringing classical
music into new contexts has followed
her throughout her career.

Bjarke Mogensen is one of those
rare talents who seems to have been
born with an accordion strap over his
shoulder. His repertoire is virtually
limitless and embraces folk music,
classical and newly composed works.
The seductive temperament
of the backstreets of
Buenos Aires meets the
islanders of Austevoll.
The Piazzolla Orchestra’s concerts
are abundant with the swaying waltzes, dramatic songs and fiery fugues
of the Argentinian composer Astor
Piazzolla. The music is closely related
to Argentina and its tango culture,
and Piazzolla himself described it
as “the sound of Buenos Aires”. The
orchestra, mezzo-soprano Andrea
Pellegrini and accordionist Bjarke
Mogensen have devoted themselves
100% to Piazzolla’s music.
Reviewers have described Pellegrini’s
voice as perfect for tango – dark,
expressive and with numerous depths
of intensity, and the orchestra are
acclaimed for their refined and precise
interpretation of Argentinian music.
