Stian Carstensen solo

An afternoon in the sign of spontaneity!

Concert starts: 15:00 Single ticket price: NOK 300

Stian Carstensen is perhaps best known from the band Farmers Market, which has been going for 30 years, but he comes to Kongsberg Jazzfestival as a one-man enterprise. 

The repertoire ranges from baroque and Balkan to hillbilly and jazz, topped off with own shows in the revue tradition. All of this is approached with solid doses of improvised poetry in the tradition of Myllarguten, Bach and Charlie Parker. Stian is concerned with improvisation in the truest sense of the word, therefore suggestions from the audience within the limits of unreasonableness are gratefully received.

Stian Carstensen's instrumentarium consists of bagpipes, banjo, accordion (the three most hated), pedal steel, kaval and guitar.

The doors open at 14:30 p.m
Concert start at 15:00

Refund guarantee:
A limited number of tickets will be released to begin with, but will be opened up to more if the rules allow it. Should the event be canceled due to restrictions due to Covid-19, the audience is guaranteed to get their money back.
