Trent Bruner At an advent concert with the Osterøy Concert Band November 30, 2008, I was there to play with Osterøy Spel- og Dansarlag, who were the guest musicians for this concert at the Osterøy Junior High School. This piece was composed during the advent season in 1993, but it has been a popular request since its recording on the Cleaver's World album in 1994 and Piano by Request in 2003.

The Sunday performance on April 19th took place at the Osterøy Museum in the Gjerstad district of the island of Osterøy, north of Bergen. One of Osterøy Spel- og Dansarlag’s groups, “FelaLiv”, opened the evening for us with something you don't see too often; fiddlers needing a conductor to perform a piece. Nine fiddle...rs from FelaLiv performed a small ensemble composition for hardanger fiddle called "Huldrasong", with Osterøy Spel- og Dansarlag member Liv Skoglund conducting the group.

We were also teaching afternoon workshops in Shetland fiddling, Norwegian and Swedish folk songs, solo and fiddle accompaniment on guitar, and piano accompaniment for Shetland and Norwegian fiddling. Thanks to Jon Jelmert, Una Ainna O'Keffe, Silje Midtbø-Vevle, Hogne Midtbø-Vevle, Silje Solberg, Daniel Gullbrå, and Svein Høgemo for attending and being wonderful students for us to work with. All seven students shared what they learned to a receptive audience before we gave our musical offerings in the evening performance. We thank Osterøy Spel- og Dansarlag and the Osterøy Museum for making the Sunday workshop and concert possible.

Our Saturday afternoon performance on April 18th was for the students of Fana Folkehøgskule, a Bergen area boarding college on the south side of Bergen. We were delighted to have three students from Olav’s traditional folk music class perform a set of Shetland jigs and a set of Shetland reels with us. This student bo...dy was exploring the theme of “Sea Shanties” and was learning about music inspired by the sea for an upcoming boat trip to The Orkney Islands of Scotland later this spring. Our concert was one part of the larger academic presentation for the day. We thank Fana Folkehøgskule for having us as part of their “Sea Shanty Day” and wish the students every success with their upcoming voyage.

Our Friday evening concert on April 17th was in a coffee house setting in the Arent Meyers kjeller (cellar) where Bryggen Kunstskole (Bryggen Art School) operates in the Bryggen district of downtown Bergen, Norway. The building was not a large one, but the setting was intimate, the acoustics were wonderful and the aud...ience was enthusiastic. Friday nights at this art school is where a bi-weekly series called “Friday Academy” takes place, where musicians and artists share and discuss their work and their artistic fields. After the concert was finished, their Friday night tradition is to serve a hearty bowl of soup after the show to musicians and audience members alike. We thank Jette, the art school staff and workers with Bryggen Folkemusikk for making the Friday evening performance possible.
