On Friday, May 17 we have the pleasure of welcoming the Norwegian cellist Live Johansson to Tivoli's Pergola stage for not just one, but two concerts.

Livestrings and Tuva Semmingsen Sharing the Pergola stage, Live has invited some of the finest musicians to perform Norwegian music and spread the Norwegian atmosphere throughout the garden. Tuva Semmingsen, with her beautiful vocal, will join in singing specially selected songs. Tuva thrives in the intersection of musical genres, which is why we are delighted she will be part of the concert on May 17, where classical music, Norwegian traditions, and popular music from Norway will intertwine. Also gracing the stage will be the Danish-Norwegian string quartet LiveStrings, the talented young Norwegian violinist Andrea Kaspara (14), pianist Nicolai Kornerup, and guitarist Mads Reinholdt.

The music has been carefully selected to include both classical and more traditional songs in the first concert. The second concert will build up to Fridayrock in a calm and acoustic manner, featuring several popular Norwegian songs. Both concerts guarantee to immerse you in the Norwegian spirit with beautiful Norwegian tunes, celebrating May 17 in the realm of music.

About Live Johansson Live is a graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Music, with a soloist degree as well as studies in Chicago, Zagreb, and Trondheim. Musically, she spans from classical music through Nordic sounds and folk music to her own pieces and back to a more electronic expression, where she plays with loop pedals and effects on her cello from 1750.
In addition to being a performing cellist, she is the musical director of LiveStrings and creates string arrangements and her own music.

The National Day of Norway is arranged in collaboration with the Foundation for Danish-Norwegian Cooperation.
