TALKIN´ BLUES
– music, companionship and fabulous speculation
Like a mixture of a radio duel and TV-charades but live n’ direct in front of an audience in the same room. We listen to and think with music in different styles and constellations.
On the 12 of April Anna Lindal meets Marcus Doverud to play.
ANNA LINDAL
is one of the renowned violinists of our time. A musician with surgical precision and projection that deserve note and adherence. She is an inspiration to those of us who try to listen with attention to the music of the worlds. An example of curiosity, beauty
and care.
