Throughout September, the Art Satellite and Sletten Centre will be filled with the sounds, stories, and traditions of folk music.
Through pop-up concerts, instrument displays, dance performances, and encounters between musicians and visitors, the programme explores folk music as a living cultural practice that continues to evolve.
The programme is presented in collaboration with Kode's composer-in-residence Benedikte Maurseth and the Ole Bull Academy in Voss.
Visitors may encounter folk music in unexpected places: in elevators, near the nursing station, throughout the shopping centre, or inside the Art Satellite itself.
Traditional instruments will be on display, instrument makers will share their craft, and local singers, dancers, and folk musicians will contribute performances and activities throughout the month.
Folk Music Month is not only about listening; it is about participation. Through conversations, shared experiences, and informal performances, visitors are invited to explore how music creates community across generations and backgrounds.
The month's highlight is Klubb Komle on 25 September: an evening where folk music meets club culture, DJs, dancing, and new audiences in a festive blend of tradition and contemporary culture.
