"ΣΠΊΤΙ/HOME" – MARIANNA SANGITA A. RØE AND TRONDHEIM JAZZORKESTER

"Home is where the rhythm is"

In 2021, Marianna Sangita A. Røe was awarded the JazZtipendiat and the work "Σπίτι/Hjem" was performed the first time at Moldejazz in 2022; a collaboration between Marianna and the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra. She has a Norwegian Greek background and grew up with strong impulses from Greek traditional music, which has clearly left a mark on her expression. Throughout her career, she has been open to meeting music from other cultures, and in the work "Σπίτι/Hjem" she wants to unite several of her musical inspirations. The ensemble in Trondheim Jazz Orchestra's for this project comes from different countries with different musical traditions and creates a fascinating musical melting pot. The work has continued to be performed on various stages and festivals at home and abroad, and now we bring it home to Trondheim again.

This will be the year's closing concert at the Transform festival and we are really proud to be able to do it in collaboration with the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra.
