Trio Oro in Concert

TRIO ORO in Concert is custom-made to keep the audience engaged. The concert capitalizes on the performers sublime technical ability and their experience with communicating to a young audience, to excite and facilitate active listening.

In TRIO ORO in Concert, the audience is given the opportunity to both discover new and recognize old and familiar music. In Norway we play our own version of the cherished Norwegian singer Alf Prøysen's Helene Harefrøken. In international projects however, we try to find ways to include the local culture in some way or form, through language, tonality or any culturally recognizable “hook”.

TRIO ORO serves Moroccan folk melodies with progressive rhythms, Norwegian tunes with improvisational parts, Bulgarian dances at blistering tempo, a wild, brilliant and awesome djembe solo that will make you laugh, a Spanish ballad at a high tempo, and perhaps the world's most beautiful melody. Everything composed or rearranged by the trio.

The dramaturgy in the concert ensures that there is something new to experience in every single song, and our little anecdotes about the instruments we play, the origin of the music or just a story about how we once forgot a drum, provide important breaks to let the music sink in, while it contributes to a cosy, entertaining and intimate atmosphere.
