Once upon a time there were two young men who loved music. One of them conducted a children´s orchestra where Torgeir and Øystein played, the other was best friend with my little brother Torodd.
The two young men were both talented musicians, they played in an orchestra, The Trondheim Soloists, and travelled the world with their music, visiting festivals, only to come home to a city where no classic festival was to be found.
"I feel that Trondheim is missing something" one of the men said to the other. "I agree" said the other, "Let us do something about that. Let us start Trondheim International Chamber Music Festival"
The two young men were clever young men, brave young men, not afraid to try young men. And 16 years ago Trondheim International Chamber Music Festival was born.
Terje and I had a date last night, a three course date.
- coffee with my parents, where one of the cakes was my mother playing the new piece she is practicing on her piano (Lawn Tennis by Peterson Berger)
- chamber music in the Freemasonry Hall in Trondheim with the German Hagen Quartet and the cellicst Ralph Kirschbaum
- dinner at Havfruen Seafood Restaurant
