Culture, Music | Brings a substitute conductor to Saturday’s church concert
On Saturday, the stage is set for a concert in Kirkelandet church, with the Ynglingeforeningen’s music corps. The corps celebrated its 125th anniversary last year, and has a long tradition of putting on such concerts.
– Since 199 Ynglingen has contributed to making a big deal with guest artists during the season, and this project has the corps of talented soloists to hold a concert with us, says the corps’ leader, Tove Elin Strand.
For the occasion, they have brought in experienced opera singers who, among other things, have played during the Opera Festukene in the past. It is Camilla Stenhoff Vist and Ole Andreas Silseth’s voices that will fill the church.
– There are two opera soloists who have been in the city before. The program will naturally be dominated by well-known singers from the world of opera, but both singers have a large repertoire, so it will also be singers from popular culture.
Stills with varied music
She believes the two singers have a style reminiscent of a more well-known profile, and points to Stjernekamp 2020 winner Knut Marius Djupvik from Tomrefjord.
It is a conscious choice by the band to bring in versatile musicians. They have long varied which genres and themes they use in the concert programme.
– We try to find different types of project. Classical opera this year, has hosted musicals and Edith Piaf in the past.
In addition to the two experienced opera singers, a local young talent will also be given a try.
– One of the corps’ own instrumentalists, Johannes Tylden, will perform a piece for clarinet and orchestra. He is one of the city’s young, promising musicians and we are delighted that he can perform the piece for a larger audience.

Substitute conductor
New from previous years is that it is not the same conductor who controls the show. There has been a change in that role.
– Our permanent conductor is on leave, so we will get a substitute this year. Tom Ole Elgsaas. He is Kristiansund’s great conducting talent, and we are very lucky to have been allowed to have him as conductor this autumn.
Elgsaas bet on the conducting profession for the full in 2018 when he quit his permanent job to take conducting studies. Today he has conducting training from the University of Stavanger and the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm, and therefore comes back to Kristiansund to conduct the Ynglingen’s concert in the church.
