Duo Unitas consists of saxophonist Heidi Christine Holm Stømer and pianist Kristina Socanski. The duo presents their album In a Landscape in a concert bringing together music from different periods and musical traditions.
The album takes its title from John Cage’s In a Landscape, a work that has been an important inspiration for the programme. The music encourages attentive listening, with a focus on changes in sound, time and detail.
The programme spans more than a century and includes works by Paule Maurice, Bjørn Kruse, Ragnar Søderlind, Marcus Paus and Johannes Brahms. The works represent different musical languages and create contrasting musical landscapes.
Heidi Christine Holm Stømer is a saxophonist with the Royal Norwegian Navy Band and has also performed with organisations including the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and the Norwegian National Opera. Kristina Socanski is a pianist educated at the Norwegian Academy of Music and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. She works as a soloist and chamber musician and has performed in Norway, Europe and the United States.
The concert also marks the release of Duo Unitas’s new album In a Landscape.
