“Phenomenon on tour: A combination of humor in pure Monty Python style,
great charm, superior musicality, beautiful movements and in general top
professional entertainment gets us on our knees. We sing, we laugh and
we clap our hands. These terrific artists do all this and more. A
wonderful hour where great art was presented with humour. It is a small
miracle that we get such talented artists Harstad Tidene 1987
”How about that Mr B?” was commissioned by Rikskonsertene in
connection with the celebration of Bach in 1985. The idea was to make a
performance that presented Bachs music in a fresh and different way for a
young audience, age 10 – 15. This was done by making a music- and dance
performance. The music was presented both in its original form and
modernized using synthesizers. The dance incorporated classical ballet, jazz
and modern. The children were engaged by using audience participation, song,
dialog and humor.
“How about that Mr B?” was a huge success and was performed
regularly on tour all over Norway
667 times
the following 12 years. |

“The artists opened our senses and gave us great joy and
inspiration. Bachs music was presented through music, dance, ballet and song
with artistic skill, freedom and humour. You had the audience captivated
from start til finish”.
