Folk songs are authentic testimonials of language, culture and tradition. They are so called because they are sung by countless human beings across the world. The simplicity and honesty of this music and the way in which tales are told, is moving. Rehearsals and concerts are planned in Germany during December 2021. In the spring of 2022, more concerts will follow as part of a tour through Norway. Our guests from Norway will be: Karl Seglem (Sax, Goat Horn) / Berit Opheim (Voice) / Erlend Viken (Fiddle, Hardanger fiddle)

RENTRÉE GRANDS FORMATS 2021
AN EVENT WITH A EUROPEAN FOCUS 

The federation Grands Formats will hold its annual event, the Rentrée Grands Formats, from the 12th of November to the 12th of December 2021 in France and Europe. 

This year, the event is an opportunity to invite and to bring together the European members of Think Big!, the European network of large ensembles, and French members during the highlight of the event who takes place the 24th and 25th of November in the city of Clermont-Ferrand (France). During these two days, organized in partnership with JAZZ(s)RA, two large ensemble concerts, professional meetings, jam session and master classes, will take place. We are looking forward to share this warm moment with all interested professionals and hope that it will provide ideas for the creation of new European projects.

Thanks to i-Portunus I will be travelling for research to Iceland in July 2021. Very much looking forward!
