The Nordlys Women’s Choir led by Ulrikke Reed Findenegg, explores the age-old and still-relevant tension between the veneration and condemnation of women: on the one hand, as muse and mother, virginal, pure, and gentle; on the other, as strong, seductive, and treacherous. Ancient Scandinavian ballads, medieval texts, and serene sounds by contemporary composers such as Calliope Tsoupaki, Sylvia Maessen, and Melissa Dunphy are featured in the program ‘Between Witch and Saint’. Works by Ivan Moody, Samuel Barber, Knut Nystedt, Alice Tegnér, and Meredith Monk are on the program as well.
