H . M . Queen Sonja in KODE 1

Throughout her life , HM Queen Sonja has always had a passionate relationship to the arts and the cultural field .
The Queen has been an enthusiastic promoter of Norwegian art and design both nationally and internationally , and as a personal collector she has supported both visual art and art handicraft . In later years the Queen has applied her lifelong devotion and knowledge to exploring various artistic techniques .
Ahead of the Bergen International Festival 2017 an exhibition opens at the Bergen Public Library . It follows two of the programme ’ s newly written works from outline and ideas to complete score . The music is written by composers Eivind Buene and Rolf Wallin , and it will be performed for the first time on the concert with London Sinfonietta at Håkonshallen on 02 June . The exhibition is put together by Hild Borchgrevink and is part of the 100th year celebration for the Norwegian Society of Composers , an occasion that will also be marked with a symposium and a book launch at the library .
