The children's festival on Wednesday
Barnivalen is Kongsberg Jazzfestival's own children's festival that takes place every day in Magasinparken. The program includes concerts, workshops and many fun activities for children of all ages.
At Barnivalen on Wednesday you can experience:
Jazz Parade
Departure outside Tinius Olsen Secondary School at 15:30.
The jazz parade marks the start of the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, and this year we will go from Tinius Olsen Videregående Skole to Kirketorget. Here there will be life and bustle, music, dancing and fun! Turn up in good time and get your face painted in Barnivalparken or outside Tinius Olsen Videregående Skole by our good clerks. At Kirketorget, we get to participate in the festival's official opening, and see dancers and musicians from this year's workshops perform.
Shana and Anders kl. 13: 00
Anders and Shana are ready for this summer's Barnival, with a suitcase full of instruments and tricks! They look forward to fooling around, playing, singing and dancing with all the festival-happy children who want to join. See you at Barnivalen!
Vocal workshop with Sigrid Kl. 12: 15
Join us in a world of sounds! What makes us make sound, and how can we create music together, in the present? Sigrid Strand Stiberg has a bachelor's degree in musicology from the University of Oslo, and has sung in the vocal ensemble Oslo 14 for several years. We are going into the world of animals on a journey of discovery! Maybe we meet some elephants or lions on the way?
MiniConcert: Sanctus Kl. 11: 30
The band Sanctus consists of Julie Berg, Oskar Nybø, Lasse Kjellemo, Aleksander Fortun, Eivind Molland, Sander Weum, Christoffer Evju and Andreas Slaatsveen. After meeting each other through St. Hallvard VGs, they have now played together for 3 years. In various contexts, they have played on stages such as Drammens Teater and Union Stage. They came to St. Hallvard from different backgrounds; some mostly classically trained, others hard rock inspired, but through interaction and new impulses they have gathered around one thing: Jazz!
Brageteatret: Theater Committee At 12:30 and 14:00
- the performance where the Barnival audience helps decide the story!
Will 800 lions come down from the roof? Does the monster smell like puke or farts? Does the hero get laser vision or pink hair? Or is something completely different happening? You decide!
All stories have been created once. Some have thought about what the main character does, what choices the bad villain makes and whether the story ends well or badly. Someone has to make the choices so that exciting things can happen. Making a story is mostly about making choices - steal the plane or not, kiss the boy or not, hide or not, raise your hand or not. The theater committee is an improvised performance in which the audience participates in various ways and influences the action. Suitable for everyone from 5 years.
Sound safari At 13:45 and 15:15
Join the musicians Simen and Mikkel on a sound safari! Here you can try different instruments, sing and have fun with music. Suitable for children of all ages.
The chicken that couldn't sing Kl. 14: 30
The trio Lekerommet met on the jazz line at the Grieg Academy and wrote the concert for the Festspillene i Bergen in 2014. The story is about a cheeky chicken who is tired of the dirty life on the farm, and dreams of one day living in the castle itself. It will achieve this by melting the king's heart with beautiful song. The problem is that the chicken can't sing. During the performance, we meet many strange animals who can hopefully help the chicken, including a fox in love, a self-absorbed squirrel, salsa-dancing cows and many more. Children and adults can all join in dancing and singing to help the chicken on its class journey.
The playroom is behind the show. They consist of: Karoline Wallace (vocals, ukulele, synth), Håvard Funderud (trombone, piano),
Petter Asbjørnsen (double bass)
The greenhouse workshop 11:00-16:00
Drivhuset music workshop presents a music workshop tent where the participants can unfold themselves on three different instrument groups, each with their own instructor, and also join in when all the small groups play together as a big band. Come and try electro, percussion and strings with Isak Anderssen, Ulrik Ibsen Thorsrud and Jon Halvor Bjørnseth!
