Edgarfestival

Welcome to perhaps the most exciting festival event of the semester, where we present an eclectic mix of talented artists from various genres! This is an evening dedicated to the joy of music in many different forms.

First up, we have Knauskoret, a choir that will take you on a journey through beautiful harmonies and powerful vocals. Their passion for music and harmony will definitely set the mood for a memorable evening.

Markus Sjøbakk, a brilliant singer and pianist, will also grace the stage. With his recently released single "Alright," he will conjure emotions and melodic joy, providing the audience with an experience they will not soon forget.

We are also proud to present Slow Country, the stage name of the talented producer, songwriter, and artist Johan Kalvsjøhagen. His music, inspired by experimental elements from bands like My Bloody Valentine, melancholy from Duster, and atmosphere from Beach House, promises a dynamic and ethereal concert. For those with a "tiktokified zoomergaze music taste," this is definitely an experience you don't want to miss.

Finally, we have Be:fore, an indie pop band from Trondheim. After impressing audiences on various stages in the city, they are ready to share their unique sound with you. Their single "Can't Let Go" was picked up by NRK radio and nominated for the prestigious "Urørt" radio competition. Be:fore promises to deliver an unforgettable performance, giving us all something to look forward to with their upcoming musical material. This is a festival night full of diversity, genre-blending, and discoveries. We invite you to join us for a musical journey that is guaranteed to delight your senses and create memories for a lifetime. Welcome!

Thursday: First up, we have Strindens Promenade Orchester, a lively student orchestra originating from the cultural heart of Trondheim, Studentersamfundet. Their passion for dixie jazz and ability to explore all musical genres make them unique. Strindens Promenade Orchester delivers musical joy that will get you swinging.

Candiss, the active choir spreading pink joy around Trondheim, also takes the stage. From UKA in Trondheim to Uken in Bergen and Uka in Ås, Candiss takes us on a musical journey through both domestic and international scenes. Next up is Snaustrinda Spelemannslag, a lively student orchestra based at Studentersamfundet in Trondheim. With around 35 dedicated members, they bring traditional playing joy to the festival.

Snaustrinda Spelemannslag is ready to set the mood and create unforgettable moments. We also have the talented 20-year-old Kirsten Ludvigsen, a brilliant ukulele player and singer-songwriter. With her unique expression and original songs, Kirsten creates an atmosphere of youthful creativity and honesty. She is currently a student at Trøndertun Folkehøgskole, and we are excited to have her on stage to share her musical talent and passion.

Next artist, Zubelli, takes us on a journey through contrasting emotions. His music explores warmth and cold, home and away, purity and distortion. With powerful vocals and intricate guitar playing, Zubelli hopes to touch listeners on a deep emotional level, inviting everyone to find a piece of themselves in his music.

Finally, we have Gnukk, an explosive and energetic live band that has set Trondheim's music scenes on fire for many years. Inspired by Jokke & Valentinerne, Oslo Ess, and Honningbarna, Gnukk creates a festive atmosphere with their Trondheim dialect and a unique blend of punk and rock. Their latest EP, "Epentyr," including the song "Kjære Møllenberger," takes a local political stand against the party culture in Møllenberg, Trondheim. Gnukk is not only current but also groundbreaking, and we are ready for an intense and memorable festival finale with them.

This is a festival night for those who love to explore new sounds and discover young talents. Get ready to be moved, touched, and entertained by Strindens, Candiss, Snaustrinda, Kirsten Ludvigsen, Zubelli, and Gnukk. Welcome!
