Maridalen with Erland Dahlen
Maridalen's three albums have received rave reviews. The debut album was placed on the list of "Best Norwegian Albums of the Year" by Aftenposten, while the English MOJO Magazine placed the album on the list of "Jazz Albums of the Year".
All four musicians in the Maridalen trio with Erland Dahlen are from Agder, Vestfold and Telemark, but the trio takes its name from the scenic valley just north of Oslo city center. The valley also leaves its physical mark on the music itself, with recordings made both in the old wooden church in Maridalen and at one of the DNT cabins on Gressholmen.
After the brilliant reception of the debut, the follow-up Bortenfor was also mentioned among "The best jazz albums of 2022" in Dagsavisen, and "Album of the month" on German radio WDR.
In April 2023, the three set course for the island of Gressholmen in the Oslofjord, where they recorded their third album at one of the Norwegian Tourist Association's cabins. The album has received deserved attention from the Norwegian and foreign press, and the trio topped it all off with two sold-out release concerts during this year's Oslojazz, where they also brought Erland Dahlen as a guest. In the spring of 2025, they will bring their music home to Agder, Vestfold and Telemark. With concerts in Romania, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and England - with the highlight being the London Jazz Festival - they have also invited the international jazz scene into the beautiful valley.

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).
