100 years' celebration Geirr Tveitt

Jacob Culture Church in Oslo, 19 October 2008: We celebrated the birthday of the Norwegian composer who renamed himself Geirr Tveitt (from Nils Tveit). 

A great evening orchestrated by Lars Klevstrand and his companions together with also Gyri Tveitt, Geirr's daughter. 
Wonderful music ... incl. excerpts from Hardingatoner and well-known songs such as "Fløytelåt" and "Vi skal ikke sova bort sumarnatta." 

Some "refound" pieces were also performed. (to be filled in..)

I appreciated in particular the highly sensitive piano-playing by Håvard Gimse.
