Canto Ostinato for Four Pianos

Barbora Cejpová, Damiën Heemskerk, Herman Bakke Karlsen and Riwoo Kim will present the famous "Canto Ostinato".

Mirei Aoto

The iconic composition by Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt is only seldomly played in Norway.

Canto can be played in various settings, but it is always carried by the same repeating pattern, creating a transcendent minimalism. For a lot of people, the repetitive poetry can provoke a state of spiritual enlightenment or deep introspection.

To allow a more immersive concert experience, there will be different seating possibilities. You can enjoy the music like in any normal concert, or lay down for a more meditative experience. We're looking forward very much to taking part in this together!
