Summer & Fall 2024

31/8-8/9: Seijo & Her Soul, 9 evenings, 2 radio stations and the Radio Multe Ensemble. Each evening begins at dusk and goes until dark. At the cusp of fall on Bergen, Norway's abandoned FM spectrum and in USF's Visningsrommet, rotating members of the Radio Multe Ensemble enact a score that includes an ancient story, on-air conversation as co-creation and music broadly defined. You are welcome at any point during each evening rendition: like tuning a radio, drop in, linger, rest a while, wander, return more than once. Radios provided.

Starting time is 20.44 on 31 August. In the following days, starting time gradually becomes earlier. On 8 September starting time is 20.20. The event lasts 60 minutes and is free.  The last evening September 8 will include drinks after.


 
The Radio Multe Ensemble is Alan Ó Raghallaigh, André Mestre, Carol Stampone, Dinara Yangeldina, Feronia Wennborg, Karen Werner and Yimin Dong.
