SISU CITY 30. JANUARY OSLO S
Jan 26 2010

First installment in the new series SISU CITY will happen on Saturday January 30 on Oslo Central Station.

SISU CITY is a project that tries to bring the contemporary concert experience to the common man and give the daily routine a welcome break with something unique and perhaps unexpected.

A tour to Nepal and Sri Lanka for Rikskonsertene (Concerts Norway) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the trigger for the first concert in the series. The audience will be able to donate money to music instruments for the music school of Kathmandu, Nepal, a school that has been built with support from Rikskonsertene and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
