The Iowa State Singers, a traveling mixed choral ensemble of 58 voices will concertize in Norway May 14-26, singing in Oslo, Bergen, Førde, Ålesund, Molde, and Trondheim. This select ensemble from Iowa State University, U.S.A. performs the finest choral repertoire from Renaissance to contemporary. This year’s program includes new works by American composers Jake Runestad and Elaine Hagenberg. Other featured composers will be Bruckner, Sweelinck, Purcell, Grieg, Pietro Ferrario, and Frank Martin. Arrangements of folk music and spirituals will conclude each program.
The Iowa State Singers have been honored in recent years with invitations to perform at the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) and the National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO) national music conferences in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2019. Thousands of choral conductors from the United States and abroad have responded enthusiastically to the choir's performances. In 2013 the Singers were honored as the national winners of The American Prize, College/University Chorus Division.
Exquisite! One of the best choral ensembles we have heard!

With a love of Norwegian folk music, Bankvelv has immersed itself in percussion from Western Norway, transferring from traditional accordion and Hardanger fiddle to more exploratory saxophone and guitar. The result is energetic and playful improvisation based on the traditional dance beat.
Heidi Kvelvane and Symre Taugbøl Bang met in the jazz program at the Grieg Academy in Bergen and together they form the duo Bankvelv.
The project has won two victories in the open class at competitions and has been performed as a concert at the Bergen International Festival and Nattjazz in Bergen, among others.
Welcome to a concert with steady interplay and a vibrant joy of playing!
The concert is planned outdoors on the roof terrace, but in bad weather it will be inside Hoven Restaurant.
Hoven Restaurant serves from the a la carte menu until 18.00. Book a table in advance here.
