Skyggespill (Shadowmusic) is a new international young
audiences music production, produced and performed in a cooperation
between the Dutch young audiences production company Oorkaan, the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and Norwegian Kulturtanken.
The starting point for Skyggespill (Shadowmusic) is the famous piece Verklärte Nacht by Arnold Schönberg. In this theatrical concert without words the piece is made accessible to young ears in a visual and poetic way. On stage are only the musicians of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. While they play the music by heart, they create the story.
Skyggespill premiered in October in Oslo and was presented at this year's Marked for Musikk in Larvik, Norway.
Skyggespill is made possible by the Dutch Performing Arts Fund in the framework of the Fast Forward Project and by Sparebankstiftelsen DNB Dextra Musica.
