I had a fantastic time at the concert last Saturday at Rondane Mountains. I want to express my gratitude to Peer Gynt for organizing the event, and to the amazing lineup of artists including Arve Henriksen, Tord Gustavsen, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen, Ellen Horn, #bjørgpas, Geir Østensjø, and the highly talented Ensemble Allegria.
The sight of hundreds of people gathered in such beautiful surroundings created an unforgettable memory for me!
