She will perform clear evensong music from the Ste Mary's Abbey in Glencairn. Prayers, poems, violin music. A unique mix of a range of genres, based on catholic rituals and on Norwegian and Irish folk music.

The songs are in English, the stories in Norwegian; the public will get an English textbook.
