We are very happy that former NTNU Ambassador Siril Malmedal Hauge wrote a commissioned work for Jazzfest, and it will finally premiere in 2025! 

This is what Siril herself says about the Rhiza Song project: 

"As in a web of roots, messages are sent in a network of communication - a kind of secret language. In this work, I feel like digging in the soil and getting my fingers a little dirty. Making life, fishing for fine fibers, intertwining threads, digging in roots, and looking for fertile ground for musical biotopes. I am fascinated by unique bonds between different organisms, and the belonging to each other in a world that is constantly changing."
