Arve Henriksen (NO) trumpet och elektronik

Arve Henriksen, norsk jazztrumpetare, är världskänd för sin unika ton. Missa inte denna möjlighet att höra Arve i soloframträdande under valven i Sofia kyrka!

The Norwegian trumpeter and vocalist who has been helping to redefine jazz and experimental music over his 20 year career performs in Sofia kyrka.

Henriksen’s dozens of releases, both collaborative and solo, are found on revered labels such as ECM and Rune Grammofon. Bridging electronic music, ambient, and new composition, his unique brass tone was inspired by shakuhachi, the Japanese flute, and his singular voice is likewise hard to define or place. No wonder he’s collaborated with such luminaries such as David Sylvian, Burnt Friedman, Fennesz, and Imogen Heap, among others.
