About the event
Trygve Kongshavn is a doctor, but has always pursued music alongside his medical career. He has released several albums and played a key role in the development of the Midtfyns Festival, which eventually became one of Northern Europe’s largest festivals.
Over the years, music remained an important passion project, but it was only after becoming a grandfather that he was inspired to create music for children. Kongshavn has since established himself as one of Norway’s leading creators of children’s music, and his debut song “Æsj, bæsj, promp og fis” has been streamed more than eight million times on Spotify. Many of his songs are inspired by play and joyful moments shared with his grandchildren.
The music and lyrics vary in genre and expression, with a focus on imagination, play, emotions, and humor!
Suitable for children aged 3 and up.
