This beautiful, purely acoustic piano quartet brings together four of Norway’s most distinctive and creative musicians.

Embracing the space between classical, folk and jazz, Wallumrød’s evocative compositions perfectly capture the distinctive, delicate sound worlds peculiar to these exceptional musicians.

Performing without electronics or PA, this tour provides a rare chance to hear some of Europe’s most exciting musicians in their purest state. Featuring the haunting trumpet of Arve Henriksen (Iain Ballamy’s Food, Supersilent), innovative folk fiddler Nils Økland (BBC Concert Orchestra Nordic Adventures, and the Nils Økland Trio who played at the RNCM in February), and drummer Per Oddvar Johansen, Wallumrød’s Ensemble conjures up a magical landscape that has been described by the Guardian as ‘very quiet and very strong.’
