About the event
From the organiser, as published on Ticketmaster.
Welcome to a magical experience at Emanuel Vigeland Museum with its fantastic acoustics and atmosphere. Gongs are special instruments, rich in overtones.
They can give an experience of being in a timeless state. The gong can work deeply relaxing and give a beautiful and meditative experience to the listeners.
Several different gongs are used, with a large symphonic gong as the main instrument. During the gong bath, the beautiful overtones from the gongs will be woven together with tones from instruments such as flute, harp, guitar, voice, handpan, didgeridoo and Tibetan singing bowls.
Circles of Sound with Grethe Midgaard Torrissen and Frans Hamer are known for mythic tones, Nordic primordial song and meditative music. It will be a powerful and beautiful experience!
To experience the full potential of the gongs we recommend the audience to lie down during the concert, but it is also possible to sit. The gongs are played in sequences and you move between the gong sequences and the musical landscapes that Circles of Sound create.
Tickets: NOK 370,- plus booking fee at Ticketmaster.
Uncollected tickets: NOK 395,-. Cash payment at the door or use of Vipps.
There is limited space for 30 people. From experience, it is worthwhile to reserve a place in advance as these concerts are usually fully booked.
Address: Grimelundsveien 8, 0775 Oslo. NB!
Bring warm clothes and a good mat to lie on, warm blanket/sleeping bag. It is relatively cold in Emanuel Vigeland Museum.
Exact concert start, it is recommended to arrive approximately 15-20 minutes before the concert starts.
More about Circles of Sound: Circles of Sound consists of Grethe Midgaard Torrissen and Frans Hamer. Grethe is a gong player and musician, and has over many years worked to let the interest in meditation and nature unfold in musical landscapes.
