📣 Wei Ting Tseng @weitingzen to pochodząca z Tajwanu wiolonczelistka, kompozytorka i artystka interdyscyplinarna mieszkająca w Oslo. Działa na styku muzyki współczesnej, improwizowanej i dawnej, a w centrum jej praktyki znajduje się relacyjność, etyka i przestrzenność dźwięku.
Jest współtwórczynią cyklu Mandagsklubben oraz założycielką Oslo String Collective. Na co dzień występuje m.in. z Markus Kristiansen Quartet i w duecie z Nicolasem Stockerem. Równolegle eksploruje wykonawstwo barokowe.
Jej utwory prezentowane były m.in. na Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Tokyo Biennale i w National Museum w Oslo. W 2027 roku ukaże się jej solowy album Mother Tongue I.
W ramach rezydencji BPM DUO Wei Ting będzie współpracować z kontrabasistą Luanem Gonçalves.
📌 Zapraszamy do udziału:
w otwartym spotkaniu 7 czerwca o godz. 17:00
koncercie finałowym 18 czerwca o godz. 19:00
Rezydencja potrwa od 1 do 21 czerwca.
🌱 BPM DUO to najnowsza inicjatywa Bydgoszcz Miasta Muzyki UNESCO, skierowana do osób tworzących w obszarze muzyki. Podczas trzytygodniowej rezydencji nowo powstałe duety realizują autorskie projekty, rozwijają międzynarodowe relacje twórcze i zyskują przestrzeń do pracy poza intensywnym rytmem branży.
As an exhibition and a year-long programme, Lessons in Love straddles individuality and community in a multitude of ways – firstly, through a moving, pulsating show that changes over the course of the exhibition period, introducing the invited artists to develop new work at UKS in 2026. In this first chapter of the programme, each artist was invited to introduce themselves through one or several recent works of art which will be dynamically presented at UKS in a shifting landscape of sentiment, spanning the terrains of grief, longing, devotion and generosity.
The social sculpture SeSiSå (2022) by Jacky Jaan-Yuan Kuo and Wei Ting Tseng working as a duo brings together the whole community with their publication and installation. Originally an installation and a workshop-based exhibition held at TENTHAUS in Oslo, the work brought together children from Møllergata skole in Oslo, where a majority of pupils have mixed cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Through sound, they explored experiences of migration, being misunderstood and (mis)heard, in a safe and caring environment. The work presented in Lessons in Love represents this ephemeral piece through a collection of documentation and a sonic sculpture.

Free entry
As Silent As Bombs experiments with kinaesthetic approaches to sound and is structured through data-driven visual frameworks. The data-based composition addresses military violations and sonic fear within contemporary geopolitical tensions involving China, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
The piece translates visualised datasets – including the frequency of Chinese military provocations in Taiwanese airspace, military expenditure and fossil fuel consumption per capita – into sound to interrogate collective narratives, power relations and shared histories.
As Silent As Bombs was created in 2022 – 24 and was previously presented at Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival, Tegnetriennalen and Oslo Negativ.
The performance is part of Lessons in Love.

April 30 @ Sentralen 𝐖𝐞𝐢 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠 (𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐧) er en Oslo-basert taiwansk cellist, komponist og tverrkunstnerisk utøver som arbeider i skjæringspunktet mellom samtidsmusikk, improvisasjon og tidligmusikk. Hennes kunstneriske praksis undersøker lytting som en relasjonell, etisk og romlig handling, og utforsker hvordan lyd avdekker politikk knyttet til tilstedeværelse, minne og omsorg.

My friendship with Belén Santillán began in 2023 when she first came to Norway. She mentioned this book during the very first interview I hosted on the radio, and in 2026 we met again through this important work, Borderlands by Gloria E. Anzaldúa, an icon of Chicana feminism, cultural theory, and queer theory.
One week before the Mother Tongue concert at nyMusikk, I invited Belén to lead a reading session of this book, which had inspired the concert’s theme. She fed us the words one spoonful at a time, like a mother feeding her child.
I wish to add another layer to the concert experience, as I believe a concert is not only what we hear, but also what we think and choose to hear.
Thank you, @nymusikk , for allowing me to experiment with this format and for bringing more readings into the music community. Thank you, @_belen.santillan_ , for your wisdom and trust. And thank you to everyone who participated in the reading. It was such a beautiful evening, one where none of us wanted to leave the room in the end.

🙏 Takk til Maria Dybbroe, Maren Sofie Johansen og Victoria Oftestad som med hver sin solofremføring utforsket svaret på spørsmålet «hva er ditt morsmål?» i konserten Mother Tongue på nyMusikk 4. mars.
Og takk til billedkunstner Joanna Chia-yu Lin som lagde alle de små publikasjonene knyttet til fremføringene.
Og takk til Wei Ting Tseng som kuraterte konserten gjennom nyMusikks serie Ung kurator!
Mother Tongue reflekterte over arv og tap, og over stemmer formet av bevegelse, historie og makt. Den lyttet til hvordan stemmer fra forskjellige steder lager ekko, kolliderer og resonnerer, og til hva vi bærer med oss, bevisst eller ubevisst, når vi lager lyd.

Saksofonist Maria Dybbroe @mariadybbroe er blant de tre samtidskunstnerne som skal presentere hvert sitt soloverk på konserten Mother Tongue 4. mars på nyMusikk, kuratert av Wei Ting Tseng @weitingzen

🗓️ 4. mars kl. 19
🎟️ gratis for studenter og nyMusikk-medlemmer. Ellers 100,-
📍 nyMusikk, Platous gate 18
Hver utøver presenterer et soloverk med et repertoar de selv har valgt: musikk knyttet til personlige historier, stykker som inspirerte dem til å bli musikere, eller sanger som går i arv i familien.
Phew, I thought February was break time but nope, it was unexpectedly difficult: exhibition, applications, curating, pre-production… and then getting super sick. But we made it to March 🌿
