Time – Bach, Janáček & Brahms

Aulaseriene's Season opening

Time – Bach, Janáček & Brahms

Universitetsaulaen i Bergen

Duration: 1 h 30 mins including interval

Let yourself be embraced by the warmth of chamber music in January. Welcome to the season opening of Aulaseriene!

This year's season opens with some of the most timeless music in existence. Bach's Cello Suite in G major, perhaps the most famous, sets the tone for the theme Time , with cellist Clara Friedensburg on stage — one of the rising stars recently handpicked for Talent Norway's new, international PODIUM initiative.

At this season opening in Bergen we will also hear Janáček's dramatic Violin Sonata, a work where everything between life and death is at stake, performed by violinist Mara Haugen and pianist Joachim Carr *. The concert ends with one of Brahms ' great chamber music highlights: the Horn Trio in E flat major, with solo hornist Eirik Baardsen Haaland from Harmonien. The program is linked with texts about time, read by actress Juni Dahr . You can read more about the performers and the program further down this page.

*Due to illness, Oda Voltersvik will be replaced by Joachim Carr at this concert.
