SNØROSER

The concept "Snøroser" was introduced in 2022 and has since developed into a musical journey where contrasts such as the fragile and the strong, the fleeting and the lasting, take centre stage. In this concert series Tabula Rasa wishes to dive deeper into these themes through a repertoire that combines familiar and unfamiliar material.

We present various works from different eras. Central to the programme is a work from 2024 inspired by Arvo Pärt's music, "Emergence" by Tord Kalvenes, as well as improvisations on Advent hymns. In this way the ensemble will explore how music both springs from and returns to silence. Audiences are invited to an experience where they can pause and listen to both the tones and the silence between them.

TABULA RASA consists of Sigrun Jørdre, Rikke Lina Sorell Matthiesen, Zsuzsa Zseni, Tord Kalvenes, Arild Rohde and Jakub Adam.

Tabula Rasa is a classical, professional vocal ensemble based on the West Coast. In their artistic work they seek to challenge conventions, find innovative solutions and reflect the present day. Together with composers and musicians they wish to develop new musical expressions in an open, interdisciplinary collective that creates in-the-moment experiences.

Tabula Rasa stands out through their work with improvisation and theatrical devices to create conceptual concerts and performances. They wish to reach new audiences with new music - people who are not so familiar with the form.
