Kraggerud test-plays ‘relay’ violin
Friday, 4 June is the day many have been waiting for: on this day Henning Kraggerud test-plays the violin created in the project ‘A Violin Is Made’.
Kraggerud will not only play the new violin; he will compare its sound
with that of the original – and with the original’s ‘twin’.
The
new violin is built as a copy of Ole Bull’s famous del Gesu violin from
1744. The ‘twin’, called the ‘Terminator’, was built by Guarneri in the
same year and is also showcased in Permanenten’s violin exhibition.
This will be a unique chance to hear and compare the three master
instruments! Kraggerud will be joined by the pianist Christian Ihle
Hadland.
Mark the day: Friday, 4 June, 2:00 - 2:45pm.
Concert
goers are welcome to join a guided tour of the exhibition Ole Bull and
the Master Instruments immediately after the concert (approximately
2:45pm).
