As one the most distinct and recognizable artists of contemporary music, Bech manages to combine avant-gardist pop with dance and performance art, with results that are beyond comparison.
In 2018 and 2019 Nils Bech did a few, very exclusive concerts at the Vigeland Museum; all were sold out in less than a minute. Finally we have the opportunity to show the rest of the world what happened in the interplay between Bech’s music and Vigaeland’s sculptures. Nils Bech invites you to a streamed version of a very special night at the museum, on Maundy Thursday, 9th of April. Participating: Nils Bech, Silas Henriksen, Oslo Strings, Sara Övinge, Nils Martin Larsen and Andreas Løwe.
