CANCELED DUE TO ILLNESS – Tuntreet – Stein Versto and Per Anders Buen Garnås

ATTENTION: CANCELED DUE TO ILLNESS!
WE ARE WORKING WITH AN ALTERNATIVE DATE AND WILL GET BACK WITH MORE INFO.

In the poetry concert "Tuntreet" the words and tones will take center stage. The concert alternates between solo Harding fiddle playing and poetry reading - seasoned with concise reflections on life and poetry, where both the serious and the less serious are given space. The word tun has to do with domesticity. The yard is the place where the houses frame and create space, and in the middle of the yard stands the tree. Words and games will revolve around this picture - in the broadest sense. The concert was performed as part of the program during this year's edition of the Telemark Festival, to the great excitement of the audience present.

Per Anders Buen Garnås is a fiddler, trained at the fiddler's school at the Ole Bull Academy in Voss, and was named "Folk Musician of the Year" during Folkelarm in 2022! He has won the Landskappleiken on harding fiddle four times, he has won the Folkelarm prize twice, and he has been nominated for the Spellemannprisen three times.

Stein Versto from Vinje in Telemark is a writer and lyricist, translator and fiddler. He made his debut as a writer with the collection of short stories "Ho blei borte i trappene" in 1990, for which he received Tarjei Vesaas' debutant prize. He later published three poetry collections, a novel and a prose book about folk music and emigration, wrote essays and a number of song lyrics set to music by Norwegian artists, among them Odd Nordstoga.
