Today these four instruments: oboe, bassoon, harp and organ are “threatened species” because the recruitment of musicians to play them appears to be failing in Norway. Four musicians have joined forces to demonstrate these instruments, solo and together. They are: Uno Alexander Vesje - harp, Ådne Stålsett - bassoon, Sigurd Greve - oboe, and Henning Sommerro - church organ. The repertoire includes new arrangements of folk songs and hymns, and new sounds.
