Lunsjkonsert med Kvernberg/Bjørdal
Voss Sparebank, torsdag 8. mai kl. 12. Fri inngang
Jorun Marie Kvernberg (fele/hardingfele, folkesong) og Kristina Farstad Bjørdal (akkordeon) har utvikla eit særeige konsept der kunstmusikken og folkemusikken går hand i hand. På lunsjkonserten får publikum høyre Jorun Marie sine eigne komposisjonar og duoen sine virtuose arrangement på folkemusikk – og gjerne ein tango eller to.

Konsertane inkluderer James Crabb (GB), Geir Draugsvoll (NO), Gemini Duo, Kristina Farstad Bjørdal, Britt Pernille Frøholm og mange av dagens unge internasjonale stjerner innan akkordeon.

Og Veli Kujala er tilbake, i år som pedagog. Velkomen!
In 2025, Nordaccordion will again arrange the most beautiful accordion festival in the world from August 11–16, with the traditional summer seminar and lots of Norwegian and international guests!

Concerts includes James Crabb (GB), Geir Draugsvoll (NO), Gemini Duo, Kristina Farstad Bjørdal, Britt Pernille Frøholm and lots of young international stars in the accordion world today. In 2025 we are delighted to have Magnar Åm as our festival composer - with new works and a possibility for participating students to get feedback on his pieces for accordion. And Veli Kujala is back — this year as a teacher. Welcome!
It is with the uttermost sadness that we received the information that Sofia Gubaidulina passed away. The first ever event at NordAccordion was dedicated to her in 2018, where we presented artistic research and a portrait concert. She was particularly happy to be in the beautiful nature surroundings in Voss, and it was an event everybody who was there remember!
Therefore it is natural that we will arrange a tribute concert to Sofia during NordAccordion 2025, performing some of her most beloved works. The program will be published soon, but it is already decided that we will include a world premiere of her Hell und Dunkel for 2 accordions, performed by Geir Draugsvoll and James Crabb. This will most likely be her last world premiere.
