We’ve been at #Tonehimmel in Volda — a festival with big ambitions, carried out with heart and sincerity.
At the final concert of the festival, festival director Kaja Skatvedt Robak looked out at the audience and spoke about her own restlessness — the desire to contribute to a better future, and the anxiety that what we do might not matter, might not be seen or heard.
But there, during the festival’s final concert, everyone could feel a sense of togetherness — and the value of the experiences, expressions, and voices we had shared. We were moved, and that changes something in us.
Each day during the festival, audiences, volunteers, and artists gathered for «Wondering Under the Tree» — a program inspired by the spirit of festival founder Magnar Åm. It was truly special to come together like that, across differences, and wonder as one.
Magnar’s gentle reflection session on Sunday carried the theme of “time.”
“Time is a window through which we glimpse the timeless,” he said, as we sat quietly looking at the tree before us.
Thank you 🙏 I’m already looking forward to next year.
