Newspapers:
“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 visiting schools”.
Harstad Tidene
“There
was wild applause, flowers and tumultuous cheers at Lyngmyr.
"How about that Mr, B?"
was a sparkling performance.
Peter
Lodwick is in short a musical phenomenon and when
Marit Krogeide danced to "Air" by Bach we got chills on our spine and it was
miraculous. It was a
humorous and inspiring performance that definitely left us wanting more”.
Tvedestrandsposten 1992
“Great
school concert in Risør! It is rare that artists
who visit the school under the auspices of the
National Concerts receive standing ovations.
It
happened here with us, the young audience was
very enthusiastic. Peter Lodwick proved to be not only a talented musician,
he was also a great
humorist who was able to get his young audience aboard. His treatment of
both grand piano
and synthesizer was impressing, and combined with Marit Krogeide's beautiful
dance,
it all became a wonderful experience for both eyes and ears”.
Aust-Agder Blad 1992
”Marit
Krogeide and Peter Lodwick took the middle school students here by storm.
Here there
was direct communication with the young people in the hall and that requires
skill. The response
was a storm of cheers and applause for the two smiling artists”.
Varden 1990
Schools:
"The concert can stand as an example that even in the
'satellite age' it is possible to get
teenagers captivated by
classical music and ballet".
Nord-Gratangen skole
"The performance” How about that Mr B” was spot in. There was
a positive, humorous
contact with the audience who became eager co-actors throughout the
performance, all done with an
intensity and professionalism that impressed both teachers and students. It
was really enjoyable
to witness Peter Lodwicks piano playing, that can only be characterized as
an "exploding fireworks"
display. Marit Krogeides dance served as a gentle and sensitive
"counterpoint".
It's fun to experience artists who takes the student audience seriously and
present art without
creating a barrier between them and their audience”.
Stig skole Oslo
"We
have seldom, if ever, had such a response at a school concert. 100% of the
students were
engaged, not even the most difficult fell out. The comments afterwards were
that this was the
best concert they had ever been to. It is rare to experience artists with
such unique and educational
talent, especially when combined with such professional skill. This makes it
a guarantied success.
Thank you for the experience!”
Birkenlund ungdomsskole
“Both artists had charisma and the ability to create direct
contact with the children, which meant
that the students gathered in the auditorium were completely engrossed in
what was going on.
The alternation between the music and the dance worked perfectly - and it
was clear by the
reaction of the children that seeing dance so close to them is a rare
experience. The
interaction between Marit and Peter was lively and humorous. In addition to
a fascinating
and artistic performance, it was also an hour full of laughter. Peters comic
talent
enabled him to perform the music with great success”.
Hannestad school
"It
was a powerful, jubilant and happy experience. The kids participated, they
listened, they
sat at the very edge of their seats and almost wept when the last number was
announced.
The same was true of the adults who were present. Krogeide/Lodwick managed
to give
us a taste of pure and unadorned baroque music in the midst of their humour.
They communicated in an easy-to-understand way and managed to be serious
without being self important”.
Vestli skole Oslo
“Thank you so much for a wonderful
experience. With humor and great artistic skills,
you elicited big smiles, wonderful laughter and wide-eyed admiration. All
the students
expressed that this was the best concert they had experienced”.
Stinta barneskole
"It
was a fantastic performance where we were all gather together to experience
something
very positive. We were presented with beauty for both ear and eyes performed
with talent
and humor. We experience two artists who were masters of their art. They had
superb body
language, accurate timing and effortless humour. Peter Lodwick was an
experience in
himself. His exuberant performance and musical humor were at a high level.
His grip on the audience was unique. Marit Krogeide gave us a captivating
and
intimate experience through
ballet and jazz dance. I have seldom or never
experienced
a school performance where the artists have had the audience
so totally in the palms of their hands”.
Dovre Ungdomsskole
"The artists opened our senses and gave us great joy
and inspiration. Bach's music was
conveyed to us through dance, ballet, song and music. Everything done with
great artistic skill,
freedom and humour. The performers
had the audience in the palm of their hands from
the beginning to the end. A student statement: "The most wonderful concert
we have ever been to!"
