WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS Week 3 INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF NORWAY Oslo Chamber of Commerce WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS Week 3 HI EVERYBODY! Fast-paced fun in the snow! When the city is covered with snow and the sun is shining, what can be better than going sledding? Here is a list of some sledding areas in Oslo, so that you easily find your way: • Akebanen, Midtstulia The sledding Association in Oslo has at its disposal a natural ice course located by the old ski jump at Midtstuen, in addition to Korektrekkeren. Midtstulia meets the demands of an international competition course. • Unnarennet, Holmenkollbakken Is it legal, still? Has it ever been there? Unnarennet was used with great delight in the old days: great fun and very, very steep! • Korketrekkeren Korketrekkeren or Korken, as it is called, reigns over all the other sledding courses. Take the metro to Frognerseteren and sled down to Midstuen. From here, take the metro up again and repeat until you can’t any more! Photo: pixabay.com Other sledding locations in Oslo: Tøyenparken (below Tøyenbadet / above the Munch Museum): Steep and fun course. St.Hanshaugen: From Tårnbassenget down it is very steep, and there is often some running water suitable for sledding when it is icy. You may either sled right on your bottom, or with a black plastic bag. You may also sled on the way down to the lake with a steering sled. Uranienborgparken: Short hill suitable for younger children. Torshovdalen Ola Narr, Carl Berners Plass:Nice sledding course for the whole family. Vellabakken, Kjelsås: Small sledding course with stairs for the little ones by Grefsen Terrassehus. Akebakken, Grefsenkollen: Drive or take the bus up to Grefsenkollen Restaurant and sled the lit trail. The trip takes about fifteen minutes and is suitable for everyone.

The early 1990s marked a dramatic change in the gender balance. Not only did many female singer-songwriters emerge, but their artistic achievements generally ranked higher than those of the men. The emergence of the female auteur was partly a consequence of the riot-grrrls movement and partly a sign of a changing social and psychological landscape. The ladies had their own styles (plural). First of all, at the turn of the decade, an eccentric figure of lo-fi psychedelic storytellers emerged out of New York's underground lofts. Multi-instrumentalist Azalia Snail (12) devoted her career to enigmatic and arcane reconstructions of the hippie era. Snailbait (? 1988/?1989 - ? 1989) featured a parade of folk-psychedelic vocal impersonations as well as erratic guitar playing with no rhythm section, and peaked with a 23- minute collage of singing, distorted tapes, found noises and assorted turbulence, So Much More To Go. Burnt Sienna (? ? - ? 1992) indulged in psychedelic effects, amid distorted vocals and dissonant music, leading to the chaotic Fumarole Rising (? 1993 - ? 1993), the culmination of her program of disintegration of the pop song.

  • Wigmore Hall Summer Brochure 2015
    !"# APRIL – JULY 2015 Welcome Keith Saunders John Butt and the Dunedin Consort shed fresh light on Bach’s St John Passion in their revelatory recording, hailed by Gramophone for its ‘naturalness and emotional honesty’. They bring their vision of the work to Wigmore Hall for a special Holy Week performance, projecting the vivid drama of Christ’s betrayal and suffering, and the profound humanity of Bach’s response to it. Andreas Scholl has inspired countless new listeners to fall in love with lesser-known works. His artistry reveals the timeless qualities of great music from the distant past, restoring the rhetorical power and emotional impact of pieces conceived for star performers of eighteenth-century Europe. Scholl’s latest Wigmore Hall programme explores the vitality of Italian cantatas by three masters of the genre and frames their work with the seductive songs of Venetian gondoliers. Formed 70 years ago, soon after the Second World War, the Borodin Quartet has become synonymous with the works of Shostakovich and Beethoven. The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall series offers a complete cycle of the two composers’ string quartets, works deeply inscribed in the group’s collective DNA. Our season-long Paul Lewis: A Celebration continues when the much-loved English pianist partners Allan Clayton in a work of timeless musical beauty and artistic truth. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, which was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1903, explores a young man’s love, despair, contemplation of death and ultimate recognition of impermanence. Benjamin Ealovega Body and soul are united in Martin Fröst’s intensely focused approach Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of to making music.
