Awarded the Trondheim Municipality’s Culture Prize for 2020!!!

Festival 2021

A number of prominent artists and musicians from whole Norway, as well as from the Trøndelag will join together in elevating the Jewish Culture Festival 2021 to new heights.

September the 4th, violinist Arve Tellefsen will be standing on the podium of the Trondheim synagogue to play the violin of the famous pre-war “Palmehaven” conductor – the late Jac Maliniak.

Composer and musician Henning Sommerro, will present his new work with an orchestra of eight musicians on stage. They will perform a piece of the commissioned work – “People of the book”. This project should have been performed in connection with the festival’s tenth year anniversary last year. But then, there were such strict infection control measures that we arranged only a mini festival.

It is still rather strict this year as well, but now, we are aiming at filling at least half the hall during festival’s concerts, talks and lectures.

Infection control

About infection control at the Jewish Cultural Festival Trondheim

Jewish Cultural Festival Trondheim follows the government’s advice and rules for infection control.

Here are the routines that apply to us:

Registration
As a result of the authorities’ requirements for events, we as the responsible organizer must know everyone who participates in the festival. Those who have not bought a ticket in advance and thus are already registered, we ask you to fill in your name and telephone number when they come to the festival.

Guidelines for the use of face masks
We recommend the use of a face mask when moving around the building. When you sit down you can take it off. If you do not have your own, it will be possible to buy one at the reception in the synagogue. The price is NOK 10 per piece.

Children under middle school age do not need to wear a face mask.

Before you come
We recommend everyone to buy the tickets digitally at www.jkfest.no. In order to comply with the authorities’ requirements for infection detection, you will be asked to provide contact information about yourself. We have a limited number of places in line with current regulations. We recommend planning ticket purchases well in advance of the festival.

What do I do if I feel sick?
If you have been in contact with infected people, are in quarantine, feel ill or have symptoms of illness, it is important that you stay at home. Contact us if you become ill to get your tickets refunded.

Where do I enter?
To enter the synagogue, you must go through a security booth. Our security guards can ask to see the contents of your bags or purse. We do this for everyone’s safety.

When queuing, we ask you to take care of the one-meter.

Arrive before the events well in advance and be patient. We carry out the festival with infection control throughout the building, and everyone will be assigned places.

In the café on the ground floor, there is table service in accordance with the authorities’ infection control regulations.

Hand washing and hygiene
Remember to disinfect your hands on arrival. The entire building will be disinfected.

Since we have to calculate plenty of space – at least one meter – between the individual audience, our hosts will refer you to your space.

If you have questions about infection control at the festival, you can contact us at post@jkfest.no
