BERGEN and ULLENSVANG!!!

I was sooo lucky to participate in the Music Festival in Bergen and Hardanger! Really great!
I was there from thursday May 21th until June 1st! :)

We were about ten students from the Razumovsky academy who went there to play both solo and chamber music together! I played the Trout-quintet with the norwegians Anders Kjeldberg-Nilsson on violin, Ida Bryhn on viola and Christian Ihle Hadland on piano, and the really good double bass player Ha-Youg Jung from Korea.

We played it in Korskirken in Bergen on Wednesday 27th of May, and the day after I played the Arpeggione sonata by Schubert at Trodhaugen. A concert hall next to Edvard Griegs house! It was great! :)
I´m gonna put in some pictures afterwards!

What I had been looking for was going to Ullensvang, Hardanger!! The most beautiful place in this world!! :) The fjord in the middle of big, norwegian mountains..
Its breathtaking and no words can describe of it feels to be there!! :)

I played the same repertoaire here again, but with different pianists.. Unfortunatly Truls Mørk has been sick lately, so he couldnt come and play his concert. So I played Arpeggione with Håvard Gimse! He is a fantastic pianist! WOW!!

The Trout we were so lucky to play with Simon Trpceski. :) A really great pianist and person from Macedonia.

It was so great to be in Norway again! I saw my sister, who lives in Bergen and my mother came driving over the mountains to listen to my concerts. Also a lot of my friends who played in an orchestra (Kammer Allegria) came to Hardanger, and it was so good to see them!!

I also had a very cold experience.... I took a swim in the fjord.. Maximum 10 degrees...

Have fun looking at the fantatisc nature of Norway!
