This year's festival musician at Hilmar festival is described as Norway's best fiddler, Verdalingen Gjermund Larsen (32) plays, emmy 2011 nominees composes, instruct and touring around in Norway, Scandinavia and "ræsten of the soil". But the first week in November emmy 2011 nominees it Steinkjer and Hilmar is his arena.
And we will meet him in many arenas. As a teacher and inspirer emmy 2011 nominees of young culture schoolchildren, and they get to play with him at the gala performance at the official emmy 2011 nominees opening in Dampsaga Thursday night. With children titled Gjermund with Bom Basker on Children's Day Saturday, emmy 2011 nominees a show that he himself has made.
It was released in conjunction with a child album that came out in 2009 and was called "Going in barns". It's old children's songs in a new guise there too rapper Trond Wiger, accordionist Frode Halti participates. And vocalist is his wife, Runa Hestad from Verdal. Chop Chop Cheers
But most of the audience meets him as a composer of the commissioned work "Cheers". It is a suite written specially for PA Røstad emmy 2011 nominees orchestra. It is 50 years since the orchestra was born in Verdal, with grandfather Peter Andreas as bandleader since has grandson of the same name taken over. And Gjermunds brother, Einar Olav, have gone into the "role" as Hilmar Alex Andersen had the senior orchestra.
One could perhaps fear compromising training emmy 2011 nominees and personal skills. But no then. He still plays so effortlessly like no other. Much of what is technically impossible to unravel for most fiddlers, seems so easy and of course for him it's just to give themselves over. Gjermund Larsen is widely considered as the best fiddler in the country.
He has won the most prestigious in folk music. He is the youngest ever winner of the A-class by landskappleiken, received Osa award and Spellmann Award for best folk record, and has also distinguished himself as a soloist in many different contexts - for example with Radio Orchestra and Trondheim Soloists. And he plays in the band Majorstuen, the Finnish-Norwegian Frigg and together with Christian Wallumrød, (jazz orchestra) to name a few.
As a composer, we met him before this commissioned work, both in Majorstuen and not least in the Diploma thesis at the Academy in Oslo, after completing education there and at the Ole Bull Academy in Voss. This fell so popular among TrondheimSolistene that they performed the piece with the composer as soloist.
We could have continued to recite the prices and fierce critics of what he has done. No less than 8 plates, it has been 32-year-old, from child album of folk, orchestral music and jazz since he debuted in the studio age of six with father Geir Egil and brother Einar Olav (8).
For he is himself the guru Hilmar emmy 2011 nominees Alex Andersen. For me as a musician, he meant just about anything, emmy 2011 nominees says Gjermund Larsen to Steinkjer-Avisa. And it's great to be able to worship a musician and personality as Hilmar, adding this year's festival musician.
