LYDREISE TRIO
Welcome to the concert on June 12th and sound walk on June 11th with Sigurd Hole, Frode Haltli and Helga Myhr at Harpefoss hotel!
In Lydreise, the audience is invited on a musical journey in three parts that explores our memory of sound, and of music. Part 3 summarizes the journey in one concert, where all three different parts are performed by a trio consisting of composer Sigurd Hole on double bass, Helga Myhr on Hardanger fiddle and vocals, and Frode Haltli on accordion. The music is located at the intersection of jazz, folk music and contemporary classical music. Lydreise is thus a project that also seeks new connections between past, present – and future in terms of genre.
On Thursday, June 12th at 7:00 PM, the work Lydreise, part III (by Sigurd Hole) will be premiered at Harpefoss hotel. The day before, June 11th at 5:30 PM, the audience is invited to experience a small taste of the music in the form of a sound walk in Okulus through the sound of the various instruments. The musicians Frode Haltli (accordion), Helga Myhr (Harding fiddle and vocals) and Sigurd Hole (double bass) will be placed at various locations in Okulus. Together they explore the sound that arises in the space between the instruments, between the tree trunks, in an improvised approach to different elements of the music from Lydreise. The audience can move freely on the walkway during the sound walk, which lasts about 15 minutes.
Tickets for the sound walk on June 11th are 100,- for adults, free admission for children/young people.
about the artists
Sigurd Hole has received great recognition for his work as a bassist and composer, in media such as The New York Times, BBC, Aftenposten and Klassekampen. And he has performed his music around the world on stages such as Carnegie Hall in New York, De Roma in Antwerp and the Konserthuset in Stockholm. Sigurd Hole’s extensive work Roraima (2022) was inspired by the sound of the Amazon rainforest, and won the prestigious German critics’ award Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik.
Helga Myhr started playing the Hardanger fiddle, langeleik and quintet as a child. Gradually, the focus fell on the Hardanger fiddle and singing. She has been nominated for the Spellemannprisen and the Folkelarmprisen. In 2019, Helga Myhr received the Øivind Berghs Memorial Prize together with Rasmus Kjorstad and the Fureprisen during the Landskappleiken. In 2021, she received the State’s Artist Scholarship for Younger/Newly Established Artists.
Frode Haltli has performed with the same ease at contemporary festivals in Warsaw, Witten and Huddersfield as at international chamber music, jazz and folk music festivals, and has been a soloist with orchestras all over the world. In 2001 he was named Rikskonsertene’s ‘Young Soloist of the Year’.
