Jazz at MUNCH
Jazz at MUNCH is a series with roots going back to the 1960s, when Karin Krog and Johs Bergh invited artists such as Jan Garbarek, Svein Finnerud, Bill Evans and Egil Kapstad to take part in now-legendary concerts in the museum’s exhibition halls at Tøyen. MUNCH is now carrying on this proud tradition at the new museum in Bjørkvika, with a series of concerts programmed in collaboration with Oslo Jazzfestival.
Program for this fall:
September 24th: Bendik Hofseth - Forest
What role and potential does music have amid the enormous societal changes facing us? For more than five years, musician and composer Bendik Hofseth has been working on his Forest project, an artistic exploration of the importance of nature in a time of unrest and social upheaval.
Now the journey ends with the launch of the Forest box set: four vinyl releases and a book, Trees, a collection of different writers’ relationships with trees placed alongside Edvard Munch’s images of trees.
More info and tickets can be found on the MUNCH website.
