Friday, June 30th, 23:00 / Risør Church
Night Concert
It is a special experience to listen to music when the summer night descends on Risør Church. The mood colors the senses; perceptions are etched more intensely. Just for this reason, many have told of having some of their strongest festival experiences at the night concerts at Risør Church.
At this concert, Alice Sara Ott has invited a dream team to perform one of the most beautiful and intense works from the chamber music literature: Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time.
