Kansas, USA - tenThing

Starting at the beautiful fjords of Norway, travel through 18^th century Germany, warm Italian Christmas and evergreen England to the sounds of Ukrainian folk music and Czech fairy tales. And there would be no holiday without some of the most celebrated American tunes and Disney songs featured in fantastic new arrangements.

Formed in 2007 by Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth as a fun and exciting collaboration between musical friends, the 10-piece, all-female brass ensemble has firmly established itself on the international scene to great acclaim. tenThing is celebrated for its commitment to outreach and access to music through a diverse repertoire that spans Mozart to Weill, Grieg to Bernstein and Lully to Bartók. The group works closely with Norwegian guitarist and arranger Jarle Storløkken on scores, which enables them to play pieces using a variety of instrumentations.
