Eventyreren Alma 
– Jeg tenker at jeg forteller en historie uten ord. At jeg er en slags eventyrer, sa fiolinisten Alma Serafin Kraggerud til NRK i forbindelse med musikkonkurransen Virtuos i fjor. Like etter gikk hun av med seieren, som ildprøvens yngste deltaker. 

I høst er det publikum i Operaens tur til å bli med på unge Kraggeruds eventyr, i en kammerkonsert på Scene 2 – og historiene vi får høre er signert Franck, Brahms og Almas egen far, den anerkjente fiolinisten og komponisten Henning Kraggerud. 

Franck først 
På scenen får Alma selskap av tre eminente musikere: Marianna Shirinyan på piano, faren Henning på bratsj og Torleif Thedeen på cello. 

Det begynner med César Franck: hans Fiolinsonate i a-moll er viden kjent, og ansett som en av de vakreste sonatene skrevet for fiolin og piano. Gjennom fire satser tas vi med fra det milde via det turbulente, til en majestetisk avslutning – alt rammet inn i en harmonisk syklus. 

Romant-arktisk 
Før pause venter Romantarctica – Henning Kraggeruds siste store komposisjon. Verket ble komponert på oppdrag fra Arktisk Filharmoni i Tromsø og det tasmanske symfoniorkestret i Australia, verdens nordligste og sørligste profesjonelle symfonikere. Og dermed forener stykket også to avgangshavner: Tromsø, hvor mange oppdagere reiser til Arktis fra, og Hobart, som er utgangspunkt for mange Antarktis-ekspedisjoner, blant dem Scotts og Amundsens. 

Romantarctica er skrevet for fleksible besetninger, og finnes i flere versjoner. Fra solo piano gjennom ulike kammerformasjoner, opp til versjonen for to solister og fullt orkester. På Scene 2 får vi høre verket som trio, for fiolin, bratsj og piano. 

Kraftfull Brahms 
Kveldens finale er Brahms’ Pianokvartett i g-moll, og her trår alle fire musikerne til. Om du lytter godt etter, kan du høre at komponisten lot seg inspirere av både Bach, Beethoven og Schubert da han skrev kvartetten – men stykkets emosjonelle kraft etterlater ingen tvil om at Brahms var en mektig musikalsk stemme i seg selv.

Alma the adventurer 
- I think I'm telling a story without words. That I am a kind of adventurer, violinist Alma Serafin Kraggerud told NRK in connection with the music competition Virtuos last year. Soon after, she walked away with the victory, as the youngest participant in the ordeal. 

This autumn, it's the Opera's audience's turn to join young Kraggerud's adventures, in a chamber concert on Stage 2 - and the stories we get to hear are signed by Franck, Brahms and Alma's own father, the renowned violinist and composer Henning Kraggerud. 

Frank first 
On stage, Alma is joined by three eminent musicians: Marianna Shirinyan on piano, her father Henning on viola and Torleif Thedeen on cello. 

It begins with César Franck: his Violin Sonata in A minor is widely known, and considered one of the most beautiful sonatas written for violin and piano. Through four movements, we are taken from the gentle via the turbulent, to a majestic ending - all framed in a harmonious cycle. 

Roman-Arctic 
Before the break , Romantarctica – Henning Kraggerud's last major composition – awaits . The work was composed on commission from the Arctic Philharmonic in Tromsø and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra in Australia, the world's northernmost and southernmost professional symphonists. And thus the play also unites two ports of departure: Tromsø, where many explorers travel to the Arctic from, and Hobart, which is the starting point for many Antarctic expeditions, among them Scott's and Amundsen's. 

Romantarctica is written for flexible crews, and is available in several versions. From solo piano through various chamber formations, up to the version for two soloists and full orchestra. On Scene 2 we hear the work as a trio, for violin, viola and piano. 

Powerful Brahms 
The evening's finale is Brahms' Piano Quartet in G minor , and here all four musicians join in. If you listen carefully, you can hear that the composer was inspired by Bach, Beethoven and Schubert when he wrote the quartet - but the emotional power of the piece leaves no doubt that Brahms was a powerful musical voice in his own right.
