«… Halldis Rønning proposes a whole new role for the conductor and how this inevitably shapes the roles of the musicians and the audience. Listening is the central part in this process, creating a new dimention in an already established concert-listening-participating process and giving a new perspective for everyone involved in it. In the video one does not distinct between the audience, the musicians, or Halldis Rønning herself, thus challenging everything the «traditional» concert goers might expect.» Peer review for the Forum Artistic Research conference Gustav Mahler University, Klagenfurt 2024
