School Performance: A Moment on Earth

In the concert *A Moment on Earth*, students will experience the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra in a program that ranges from classical orchestral music to film scores, game music, and contemporary sounds.

Norrlandsoperan || September 11–12, 2025

Duration: 45 minutes.

School

Works by Strauss, Alfvén, Prokofiev, John Williams, Andrea Tarrodi, and others are interwoven with music from the Swedish video game *Unravel*—where the track “Thrilling Chase” adds a dramatic and rhythmic element to the concert.

The concert concludes with a sing-along to Laleh’s “En stund på jorden,” featuring music classes and the youth choir. Host Kristina Sturk guides the audience through the concert in an educational manner and provides insight into the music and the orchestra’s work.

One of the pieces, *Wildwood* by Andrea Tarrodi, is linked to an art project in which the students’ own images are projected during the performance—making them part of the artistic experience. The concert gives students the opportunity to experience the orchestra’s soundscape up close—and aims to spark curiosity, concentration, and creativity.

The Cultural Promise


The concert is part of the Norrlandsoperan’s contribution to Umeå Municipality’s new cultural strategy, “Kulturlöftet,” which
means that all municipal students will have the opportunity to encounter, participate in, and engage in cultural activities in their
classes and throughout their entire school career.

“A Moment on Earth” will be held on four occasions and will reach all 9th-grade students in the Umeå municipality!
