The Norwegian Seamen’s Church, NYC
25 October 2007, 7 p.m.

The acclaimed Norwegian baritone Ørjan Hartveit joins forces with pianist Daniela Candillari in Northern Light – a recital at the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in New York celebrating the genius of Edvard Grieg and his influence on contemporary and future generations of composers. Photos by Ingerid Jordal will be exhibited/projected during the concert.

Grieg’s unique combination of Romanticism and folklore, which has inspired composers of different nationalities, will be at the heart of the program, while a specially commissioned installation by Norwegian art photographer Ingerid Jordal depicting the dramatic scenery in Hardanger – a major source of inspiration for Grieg – will be featured simultaneously with the performance of the 12 Settings of A. O. Vinje Op. 33 (including famous songs such as The Last Spring and At Rondane). Northern Light was premiered in Hardanger in July in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the death of Edvard Grieg.
