Between the moon and the morning - a concert of contrasts">
Sopranos Marianne Heuer and Charlotte Hjørringgaard Larsen and pianist Natasha Kutsko Jensen offer an opera and operetta concert that is characterized by contrasts.
Charlotte and Marianne have been best colleagues since their studies at the North Jutland Academy of Music, and can probably best be described as a kind of musical sisters.As real sopranos, they can't help but compete with each other in singing the loudest, fastest and most beautifully, but of course it's just for fun... at least most of the time!
Both Charlotte and Marianne were born and raised in North Jutland, and are both sought-after soloists and professional choir singers. Marianne is employed by the Danish Radio Concert Choir in Copenhagen, which sings with the DR Symphony Orchestra.Charlotte works primarily as a freelance singer and has sung roles such as Gilda in "Rigoletto" at the local theater Undergrunden and Sour Genovieffa in Puccini's "Sour Angelica" in Ylva Kihlberg's production.
As an accompanist, we are fortunate to be able to present pianist Natasha Kutsko Jensen. Natasha is a trained pianist from the North Jutland Academy of Music. She has a versatile career as a soloist, chamber musician and fortunately she also enjoys playing with singers!Natasha is an excellent accompanist, not least within the opera genre, so our two soprano sisters are in the best hands.
The concert offers an opera and operetta concert that is characterized by contrasts. Sun and moon, light and darkness, hope and despair, major and minor. The contrasts highlight the special characters of the opposites and create a beautiful balance.
The concert starts with Purcell's "Music for a While" in a version for two sopranos, then we start the "moon songs". Rusalka's "Sang til månen" and Kunneke's "Strahlenders Mond" surround the audience with hope and longing that borders on desperation.Liu, Turandot's servant, also comes into play and desperately asks the moon for help.With Carmen's "Habanera" the mood changes, and we end up in the festive corner with Eliza Doolittle's "I could have danced all night" and Maria's song from West Side Story, "I feel pretty".
The parish council hosts a glass of wine and something sweet after the concert.
The concert is part of "Summer Concerts in Rebild Provsti".
