This year is 75 years since the outbreak of war on 9 April. The Storting chose to add a main celebration of this day to Elverum and Elverum Folk High School.
We borrowed the original of the Elverum power of attorney for a few hours, and were visited by the Storting's presidency, Storting representatives, mayor of Elverum, the National Heritage Board, the county municipality and others.
The sibling couple Bjørg and Kristin Pas entertained on violin and viola with a composition by Johan Halvorsen “Passacaglia”President of the Storting Olemic Thommesen presents flowers to Fredrik Seeberg who participated in the fighting at Midtskogen 17 years old.Signe Marie Rustad and Annar Bye entertain.Stein Kvae from Paradox thanks the river room singers and shows samples from the filming of "The King's No - Three days in April"Riksantikvar Jørn Holme talks about future plans and financial support for the restoration of the school's historic premises.The grandson of the then President of the Storting Carl Joachim Hambro thanks for a great celebration.
A great program at 18.00 was open to the people of Elverum, and our students did enough to make many in the hall get a tear in the corner of their eyes when the great program ended with Nordahl Grieg's "To the Youth".
NRK broadcast live on both Dagsrevyen and Østnytt, and here you can see NRK's full coverage of the day:
