Moon in Advent - an Advent concert

Moon in Advent
– an Advent concert based on the music release of the same name, released in 2009.

The project was initiated in 2007/2008 by Kjersti Vist Heide, with the desire to set melodies to a selection of Stjørdal poet Ivar Haugen's beautiful Advent poems.

The poems were eventually set to music by Kjersti Vist Heide, Andreas Nergård, Jon Uthus, Åshild Mundal and Odd Halvor Moen, and with a few exceptions have been performed in concert version every first Sunday in Advent in Værnes and Lånke Churches since their publication in 2009.

In 2025, the concept moved with great success from the church to Hjelseng Gård, where the backdrops provide a homely and intimate setting. Ivar's lyrics are informal and general in style, and stand out just as much in the kitchen as in the church.

The concert has become a good meeting place and a space for peace and reflection. Completely in the spirit of Kjersti and Ivar.
