Crossings 200: A Musical Journey Across Time and Ocean
To mark the 200th anniversary of Norwegian emigration and Stavanger’s 900th jubilee, Stavanger Concert Hall invites you to two musical journeys across time and sea.

Prelude talk (free entry): Join us for Into the Music – a free introductory session with Tor Yttredal in the VIP Room on the 5th floor at 18:30.

The concert opens with Over the Sea Towards a Higher Heaven – an evocative new piece by Ståle Kleiberg, premiered earlier this year by the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra.

Next comes Antonín Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9 – From the New World, composed in America and rich with longing and love for the old continent. The programme symbolises the shift between the familiar and the unknown – between roots and new beginnings.
