On December 21, the Vetlesen/Dørsdal/Halvorsen trio will be visiting Risør Church with the Christmas concert Himmelsk ro. The trio's Christmas concert is gradually becoming well-known to the audience, and has become a tradition for many. As the title suggests, the goal of the concert is to create a lovely respite in the busy pre-Christmas period.
The musicians have different backgrounds, and find their unique musical expression in meeting each other and the most beautiful Christmas hymns, folk tunes and classical Christmas music. Vetlesen is a trained classical singer and opera singer and is based in Lillesand. Eirik Dørsdal is a jazz trumpeter, and is based in Risør. Tor Morten Halvorsen is a pianist and organist in Risør, living in Lyngør. Together they find great joy in creating short, atmospheric Christmas concerts, and have concerts in Risør and Dypvåg churches in addition to Lillesand.
They bring a young, local singing talent to their concerts, and also invite the audience to join in on the singing. A cup of hot mulled wine is served at the entrance.

CHANGES part 3
How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?
"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.
The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?
--Said about the book:
"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly
Business News
"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"
Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House
--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
