Formed in 2007 by Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth as an exciting collaboration between musical friends, the 10-piece, all-female brass ensemble tenThing (pronounced “ten-ting”) have firmly established themselves on the international scene to great acclaim. At the helm of the group, Helseth has built a reputation as one of the foremost trumpet soloists of our time, having gathered an impressive catalog of awards including the rare honor of being the first classical artist to be nominated for a Spellemannprisen, the Norwegian version of the

Grammy Award. Her ensemble is celebrated for their commitment to outreach and access to music through a diverse repertoire that spans from Mozart to Weill, Grieg to Bernstein and Lully to Bartók. After having found a huge national audience in their native Norway, tenThing came to international prominence at the BBC Proms in a performance at London’s Cadogan Hall, which in turn led to engagements at prestigious concert halls and festivals worldwide.
