Tine Thing Helseth Trio // Kafékonsertene

Classical melodies, Nordic folk tunes, tango and prog rock. Tine Thing Helseth, Gunnar Flagstad and Jarle G. Storløkken have put together a programme with no regard for genre boundaries - only for the music they want to play. Tine Thing Helseth has long since established herself as an internationally acclaimed trumpeter. She has been a soloist with leading orchestras around the world, released gold-selling albums, created the brass ensemble tenThing and is behind her own festival. In this trio we meet her in a different format, where the trumpet is joined by her voice, piano and guitar. Together with pianist Gunnar Flagstad and guitarist Jarle G. Storløkken, she has created a project built on a simple principle: good music is good music, whatever the genre. Here it is not expectations or genre boundaries that decide the repertoire. Classical melodies stand side by side with Nordic folk tunes, tango by Astor Piazzolla and music from completely different traditions. The common denominator is that this is music the three musicians have a special relationship with and want to share with the audience. Tine Thing Helseth – trumpet and vocals, Jarle G. Storløkken – guitar, Gunnar Flagstad – piano.
