14 Nov “SKRÅBLIKK PÅ HAUGTUSSA” AT SUNDE COASTAL AND LITERARY CENTRE ON NOVEMBER 22

In 2023, Knut Vaage composed a work for spoken voice, soprano and piano. The piece explores Arne Garborg’s Haugtussa, but draws on different poems from those Grieg used in his version. In Skråblikk, the spoken voice is the main storytelling element, coloured by the soprano and piano. The listener is invited into a fresh, innovative and magical soundscape, revealing the darker and more supernatural aspects of Garborg’s poetry.

In autumn 2023, Skråblikk was recorded by the same trio who will perform the work on Sunday, November 22: Hilde Haraldsen Sveen, Ragnhild Gudbrandsen and Knut Christian Jansson.

Composer Knut Vaage will be present to give a brief introduction to the work.

Doors open at 14:40 , 20 minutes before the event begins. Tickets are available at https://bergslagen.hoopla.no/event/skraablikk-haugtussa
