Mange konserter solgte flere billetter enn ventet, og særlig gledelig var det å se et økende publikumstall på de smalere konsertene. Programmet i denne perioden hadde en flott bredde, fra unge talenter til etablerte verdensstjerner, fra storbandfrijazz, kunstpop, elektrojoik til mainstream. 12. mars ble det brått slutt. Dette var starten på, for oss som for alle andre, en krevende tid. I en uoversiktlig og ukjent situasjon satte vi i hovedsak i gang med å flytte konserter for å gi så mange artister som mulig en ny konsertdato.

En fullspekket høstsesong står for tur, og vi i Stormen er overveldet og begeistret over den massive oppslutningen fra dere publikummere! Vi vil takke hver og en av dere for den flotte mottakelsen Stormen Konserthus har fått siden åpningen i november 2014. Dette inspirerer oss til å sette sammen et variert og kvalitativt godt program, og vi ser frem til flotte konserter med bred spennvidde, god humor og store teateropplevelser når høstmørket senker seg. Stormen er en naturlig arena for både lokale stjerneskudd og internasjonale stjerner. I vår kvartettserie er vi glade for å presentere årets Stormen-profil Roland Pöntinen, i samspill med strykere fra Nordnorsk Opera og Symfoniorkester. Vi får også et etterlengtet gjensyn med Engegårdkvartetten og Nils Anders Mortensen. Vi har mye på lager! Studér programfolderen du har i hendene, la deg utfordre, og vær hjertelig velkommen til Stormen Konserthus. Rolf-Cato Raade, Direktør Hvem er vi? Stormen Konserthus er en møteplass, smeltedigel og formidlingsarena som skal løfte frem lokal kunst- og kulturproduksjon, samtidig som vi skal være en arena for presentasjon av stjerner i verdensklasse. Vår visjon er å være et av Skandinavias mest levende og stilskapende konserthus, noe som innebærer at vi setter krav både til høy kvalitet og stor aktivitet. Vi skal være et hus fylt med aktiviteter for alle, noe som er spennende og utfordrende på samme tid. Tilgjengelighet, mangfold og mot er tre verdier vi jobber etter for å få dette til. Stormen skal være et åpent konserthus som er tilgjengelig for alle, og skape en gjestfri atmosfære ved å være et godt vertskap.

  • STORIES Jan Gunnar Hoff
    Music for me, as pianist and composer, is a quest for depth and a quest to find a bridge between my emotions and the piano. When I begin I am uncertain about where the journey will take me and how it will end. It is important that compositions and improvisations constitute a natural whole. And classic songs like “God Only Knows” are stories and they must be told in a personal manner. Putting it all together in an album is exciting and rewarding.
