Sara Parkman – Bergen kirkeautunnale

«Sara Parkman sings about what is at stake» – Klassekampen

Sara Parkman has since her debut in 2016 pushed the boundaries of what folk music can be. Her albums and concerts have time and again been celebrated for weaving together tradition and future. Along the way she has received a number of prestigious awards and had several sold-out tours.

Parkman's recently released fourth album Aster, atlas explores the mysterious tradition, what it means to live, and to handle the living. Throughout, Parkman carries with her ora et labora - «The idea of prayer and work I want to be a comfort, a hope and an encouragement in the rather demanding times we live in. We shall continue to work and believe in community.»

In Aster, atlas Parkman crosses traditional Norwegian herding calls with the early church's choral tradition, mixed with pulsating electronic music. She describes the music as a garden of sorrow, a garden of beauty – the garden of the body, the sprout and the decay.
