On 20th February, the artist Franziska Lantz will explore the spiritual energy of waste collected from the beaches of Svalbard, constructing new stories from the waste that reached Svalbard. Franziska Lantz is an artist/musician who merges music and objects in her installations, using dynamic performances in her perpetual quest to unearth hidden landscapes and lost remains from a post-apocalyptic future past.

In conjunction with the Arctic Chamber Music Festival and in collaboration with Artica and Arctic Action, the Italian artist Maria Adele Del Vecchio will on 18th February present a storytelling about the French artist and musician Henri Chopin.

On 17th February Arctic Chamber Music Festival and Artica will host an afternoon at Artica’s workshop to explore the works of the composer Carl Nielsen along with a warming bowl of soup. Music is personal, and emotions can be channelled through instruments.
