Strings of the world: Rohini Sahajpal and Arve Tellefsen

Saturday 3 December

7:00 P.M.

There will be a concert with Arve Tellefsen and the virtuoso sitar player, Rohini Sahajpal.

When Rohini met Arve during Children's World Days in 2020 organized by Oslo World, they struck a nice note together. Rohini then asked Arve if he would like to play with her, to which Arve immediately replied "Yes" as he had heard Rohini during BVD and got a strong impression of her musicality. Thus it developed an idea of concert and Melahuset quickly took the initiative to become the organizer.
