KRISTIANSEN & VEMØY reinterpret Christmas hymns with piano, trumpet and electronic textures at Larvik Church.
This event has already happened.
Øyvind Kristiansen (piano and programming) and Jonas Kilmork Vemøy (trumpet and electronics) present their pre-Christmas concert Hymns for Shepherds and Kings at Larvik Church.
The duo offers new interpretations of Christmas hymns, drawing inspiration from classical, contemporary and jazz music. Piano and trumpet meet electronic textures in a musical expression that moves between calm and more unsettled passages.
The concert explores the themes of joy and hope associated with Christmas, while also leaving room for reflection on the world we live in.
KRISTIANSEN & VEMØY began their collaboration at Kulturkirken Jakob in Oslo and have released three albums: Hymns of Compassion (2021), Hymns of Longing (2022) and Hymns for Shepherds and Kings (2024).
