Kari Bremnes Svarta Bjørn

On FIGHT FOR LIGHT, Dutch composer Jesse Passenier explores the peripheries of jazz and classical, marrying the two genres together through symphonic music.

Kari is an award-winning singer/songwriter/producer based in Leeds (UK), known from her BBC Radio One and Isle Of Wight presence as well as from being one of new animating forces of indie scene in Leeds and performing on various European festivals, including Open'er Festival or Vienna Waves. Her two previous albums “Daddy Says I’m Special” and “Wounds And Bruises” gained international recognition and respect of indie fans and artists like Elena Tonra of Daughter. Kari's also widely recognized as one of the most fashionable female indie artists. Her fascination with fashion and visual arts has always been reflected in her media appearances, live shows and videos.

There is something deeply troubling and inscrutable in Carlo Gesualdo’s music, something that any listener, even the most inexpert one, will unfailingly experience. This most particularly holds for Tenebrae Responsoria (1611), his definitive statement, his monument, his testament.
