Beethoven
Beethoven’s String Quartets Opus 74 “The Harp” and Opus 95 “Serioso”
The Engegård Quartet delves into the greatest pillar of the classical chamber music repertoire – all of Beethoven’s string quartets. This represents a before and after in music history. The Engegård Quartet comes to Kolben with two central works, written in 1809 and 1810, when Napoleon was advancing in Europe – namely opus 74, “Harp Quartet”, and opus 95, “Serioso”. They encompass everything from love to fear of war, and Beethoven’s irresistible ability to convey what it means to be human.

Ibsen and Beethoven
Bjørn Sundquist og Engegårdkvartetten
To mesterverk. Én scene. En kveld der ord og musikk veves sammen til en gripende helhet.
Henrik Ibsens Terje Vigen – et dikt om krig, sult, hav og håp – fremføres av en av Norges mest markante stemmer, Bjørn Sundquist. Hans opplesning bærer ordene med tyngde og nærvær – som om Ibsen selv hvisker dem fra scenen.
Deretter fyller Engegårdkvartetten salen med tonene fra Beethovens strykekvartett nr. 15 i amoll, opus 132. Et verk skrevet etter sykdom og krise, gjennomsyret av takknemlighet, dybde og indre styrke. Musikken gir etterklang til Ibsens ord – en tankefull reise videre, i klang og stillhet. Dette er mer enn en forestilling. Dette er et møte du vil huske.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Strykekvartett nr. 15 i a-moll, op.132
Assai sostenuto – Allegro

De er kjent for sine friske tolkninger av det klassiske repertoaret, og er nå i gang med å lære alle Beethovens kvartetter. De kommer til Drammen med to tidlige kvartetter, Opus 18 nr. 4 og nr. 5. Nr. 4 i c-moll er mørk og stormfull, mens solen kommer strålende frem i Nr. 5. Som aperitiff og dessert blir det nordnorsk folkemusikk.

Jon Fosse’s masterpiece in a different kind of concert
The Engegård Quartet, actress Gjertrud Jynge and visual artist Marianne Heske are joining forces in this concert performance based on Jon Fosse’s Septology.
The Story about Asle
“The aging painter Asle has no more paintings to paint and this year, has agreed for the first time to celebrate Christmas with his neighbour Åsleik. Every year, he has painted on Christmas eve, in an attempt to paint away all the pictures in his head and to avoid thinking painful thoughts. Such as about his wife Ales, who died and left him much too early. But a bastard is born in a stable and sure enough, it is at the darkest of times that light can be seen.”
Chamber music and video painting
Noble prize winner Jon Fosse wrote Septology in the years 2019–2021. Actress Gjertrud Jynge from the Norwegian Theatre has now adapted the novel for a concert. Together with the Engegård Quartet, she is treating the audience to the premiere performance of a different kind of concert. Hear the story about Asle set to chamber music ranging from old to modern and from popular to sacred. A video painting by visual artist Marianne Heske visually accompanies the performance.
About Septology
Septology was published by Det Norske Samlaget in three books and is considered Jon Fosse’s masterpiece as a writer and playwright. The series of novels consists of seven chapters numbered in Roman numerals and compressed into three volumes. The first two chapters were published in 2019 under the title The Other Name – Septology I–II. In 2020, I am another – Septology III–V was published and the final volume, A new name – Septology VI–VII came out in 2021. The books have been awarded the Brage Prize, Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature, Literature Prize and two nominations for the Booker Prize.
