Systerspel · Benedicte Maurseth
The "Les Norvégiennes en scène" festival
Echoing the exhibition "Harriet Backer (1845-1932). The music of color", the Musée d'Orsay is organizing the "Les Norvégiennes en scène" festival, which explores the richness of the voices of today’s Norwegian artists: violinist Benedicte Maurseth invites the audience on a musical, poetic and tender journey through Norway, carried by the music of her elders.
Systerspel (Jeu de Sœurs) is a poetic and sensitive show which tells the story of her country’s musicians who traversed Norway’s spectacular landscapes from the 18th to the early 20th century. Norwegian violinist and folk composer Benedicte Maurseth takes us on a journey to meet these proud, artistically and financially independent fiddlers who travelled from village to village playing their fiddle at baptisms and marriages.
Benedicte Maurseth is a Norwegian folk musician. She began playing the violin at the age of seven. A composer, she is the author of what are soon to be ten albums, the first of which, Rosa I Botnen, was released in 2006. Since 2005, she has toured the world in concert, both as a soloist and in collaboration with other musicians.
