Works of art by the masters of painting from the Middle Ages to the Baroque are presented through animation of various sections before the whole picture is revealed in its entirety.
We could call it a visual concert, conveying a symbolic, mysterious and infinitely expressive world of sacred art. Let yourself be fascinated by how artists over the centuries have interpreted the Christmas mystery. The music is by composers from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque, interacting with Nils Henrik Asheim's free organ improvisations.
Art critic Trond Borgen has selected the paintings and will give a 20-minute introduction at the start of the concert.
