For a long time, The Royal Norwegian Navy
Band (SFMK) has hoped for a collaboration with
saxophonist and composer Marius Neset. With
support from Det norske komponistfond (The
Norwegian Composers’ Fund) Neset has now
composed a work especially for SFMK and this
year’s Bergen International Festival.
In this commissioned work, Neset explores the
turmoil between intellectual, tightly arranged
and composed music, and the impulsive, improvisatory, playful and spontaneous.
‘It is extra thrilling to experiment when you have
such a large orchestra at your disposition and
can create such contrasts,’ say Neset.

‘The possibilities for utilizing this scope
together with the huge sound resonance and
dynamic potential of this orchestra means that
one has the time to allow the music to develop
without losing intensity,’ says Neset.
Drummer Anton Eger and bassist Petter Eldh
who, with Neset form his regular trio, contribute
to realizing Neset’s unique ideas of advanced
rhythmic music for a large orchestra such as
SFMK. Marius Neset has composed works for
several larger ensembles including DR Big Band,
Oslo Sinfonietta and Trondheim Jazz Orchestra.

Skærved
The fascinating violinist plays for the
forgotten and forlorn.
Peter Sheppard Skærved is a true virtuoso,
communicator and storyteller. With his violin
at the ready, he surprises and enthrals, while
introducing the instrument to a new audience.
During the Bergen International Festival he
makes use of St Jørgen’s Church, where he
balances between Tartini’s meditative eighteenth century works and modern works by
Helmut Lachenmann, Philip Glass and others.

my surroundings and the memories of those
who lived and died here,’ he explains.
The main concert is on Thursday evening, but
you will encounter Peter Sheppard Skærved if
you visit the Lepra museum on Wednesday or
Thursday in the daytime. He is there to bring
music to the awe-inspiring melancholic mood
of the old hospital building.
‘The moment I walked into the chapel I knew I
had to bring Tartini’s music here. I have spent
