Postman Pat goes to the Opera.
This was conducted by Bjarte Engeseth and featured the singers Per Vollestad and Helga Botn. It was a light hearted look at opera (is there any other) and we transformed Postman Pat, with help from arranger Øyvind Vestby, into Italien opera. The result was extremely interesting and really good fun.
Matja Madonna.
A Christmas tale, Text by Alf Prøysen, told by Marit Selfjord and coducted by Bjørn Sagstad. As usual we asked local children to make up the choir. This was a toned down Christmas concert, just a story and some great music.
Weather Report
Conducted by Paul Mann and presented by TV2 weather girl, Benedikte Rasmussen. Lots of weather related music there we presented the various groups of the orchestra, involved the public and as usual, lots of surprises.
Film Fantasies
Ari Rasilainen conducted and Rolf Wesenlund took us through some film scores, including Pippi Langstocking, Silverado and Star Wars.
