Susanna Wallumrød & Juhani Silvola (FI)

Tuesday 8 September Susanna Wallumrød visits Lille Ole Bull, this time in duo format with guitarist Juhani Silvola.
Susanna Wallumrød is one of Norway's most prominent and distinctive artists. In 2024 she marked 20 years as a recording artist, and the following year she was in the spotlight with the album Meditations on Love, a tour with a new band, music theatre based on Gunvor Hofmo's poems and new music inspired by Hildegard von Bingen. She received her fourth Spellemannpris in the Open Class, and the production Jeg vil hjem til menneskene was nominated for the Heddaprisen.

She is known for powerful original works, personal interpretations of everything from Joy Division and Dolly Parton to Henry Purcell, as well as collaborations with among others Oslo Sinfonietta, Jenny Hval, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Carte Blanche. She often sits behind the piano, but in this project we meet her in a more open format together with guitarist Juhani Silvola.

Silvola is a Finnish-Norwegian composer and guitarist known for his expression within folk music, jazz and improvisation, and has among other things played with Nils Petter Molvær, Frode Haltli's Avant Folk and Sarah-Jane Summers.

The concert offers a carefully selected repertoire of interpretations and originals – performed with intimacy, precision and artistic weight. This concert is part of the concert series Bergen Live Sessions.
