Showtime

“Show Time” will be a spectacular concert filled with a diverse range of musical theater pieces, including selections from the famous opera ‘Carmen’ and the musical ‘Jekyll and Hyde’.

The audience can expect an entertaining performance of high quality, taking them on a musical journey through various styles and eras within the opera and musical theater worlds.

The idea behind the project is to combine the skills and interests of the musicians into a concert that covers a wide range of genres. This keeps the audience engaged, captivated by the diverse music.

Repertoire from the opera and musical theater worlds is rarely performed in the Faroe Islands. Therefore, it is of great importance for Faroese cultural life that it becomes possible to experience high-quality performances of these genres. This helps inspire Faroese children, youth, and possibly also adults. Moreover, it enhances their cultural understanding.

Musicians:

Borgfríð Fonsdal is a singer currently living in Barcelona, where she studies musical theater at the Institute of the Arts Barcelona. In addition to the musical theater genre, she has extensive experience in classical singing. For example, she spent a year at the renowned Vadstena Sång- och Pianoakademien in Sweden.

Bergur Fonsdal has been involved with rhythmic music for most of his musical life, particularly in jazz. In recent years, however, he has become increasingly fascinated by classical double bass. This interest has earned him a place at the highly regarded Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (HAMU) as a student of the renowned double bassist Jiří Hudec.

Aksel Remmel is a pianist who studied classical piano at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen under Professor Jens Elvekjær. In 2022, he won the music competition Stella Polaris. Additionally, he was a soloist with the Faroe Islands Symphony Orchestra at last year’s New Year’s concert.

Alongside their studies, they have extensive experience on various stages, encompassing genres from classical and jazz to musical theater.

They have great ambitions for musical art in the Faroe Islands and look forward to putting together a concert that showcases some of their favorite pieces from these genres.
