Biography

New music for brass. They collaborate with composers, writers, directors, and soloists to find new perspectives in their sonic narratives. They make productions with a wide variety of expressions. They are not interested in conventions related to contemporary art, performance practices, or concert traditions. Uncompromisingly, the NyNorsk brass quintet produce performances that will convey audio messages based on the stories and partners they choose. Through collaboration with author Kjartan Fløgstad, countertenor Sean Bell, organist Anders Eidsten Dahl, actor and vocalist Ivar Nergaard, and mezzo-soprano Tora Augestad, they have created an expression that goes far beyond the usual sound of brass instruments. In a short time (et. 2015), through their cross-genre projects, they have premiered as many as 43works by Nils Henrik Asheim, Per Arne Glorvigen, Erlend Skomsvoll, Therese Ulvo, Marcus Paus, and Ørjan Matre, at festivals such as Only Connect, Brass Wind, Bergen Kirkeautunnale, Stavanger Organ Festival. The NyNorsk brass quintet released Nils Henrik Asheim: Hornflowers in 2021, produced by LAWO Classics. Artist photos: Anna-Julia Granberg, Carl J. Asquini, Evelina Dembacke & Terja Aalrust
