Nearly 40 years after their first appearance together on a Levanger stage, vocalist Sissel Kyrkjebø and fiddler Gjermund Larsen reunited on Thursday night to perform alongside the Trondheim Symfoniorkester in Trønderhallen, according to a report by Trønder-Avisa.
A Nearly 40-Year Journey Back to Levanger
The concert brought together two of Norway’s prominent musical figures for a performance that evoked what Trønder-Avisa described as classic “Drømmeaften” (Dream Evening) atmospherics. Sissel Kyrkjebø and Gjermund Larsen first shared a concert stage in Levanger almost four decades ago. Their Thursday evening reunion in the local sports hall drew an audience eager to witness the collaboration anew.
“You had shorter hair, back then!” the artists recalled during the reunion, reflecting on their initial joint appearance in the municipality decades prior.
