Tine Thing Helseth will give the world premiere of Nico Muhly’s Doom Painting with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and conductor Markus Poschner on 14 – 16 March. This lyrical and explosive new work is co-commissioned by the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, NTR SaturdayMatinee, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, and Hallé Concerts Society with the generous support of their sponsors CMS and the Hallé Commissioners Circle. The performances take place at Antwerp’s Queen Elisabeth Hall (14 March), Ghent’s Muziekcentrum De Bijloke (15 March) and Brussels’ Centre for Fine Arts (16 March). Further performances this season include the Dutch premiere at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Hannu Lintu on 5 April.
Since the beginning of her career, Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth has championed the trumpet repertoire amongst audiences on all six continents, meriting the highest critical praise for her soulful, lyrical sound and collaborative approach to music-making. An artist who challenges the boundaries of genre with an intensely creative, open-minded philosophy, Tine’s ever-expanding repertoire ranges from the classical period to contemporary works and new commissions.
Tine’s additional season highlights include returns to the Helsinki Philharmonic, NOSPR in Katowice, Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, Helsingborg Symphony, Jönköping Sinfonietta, and debuts with the Seattle Symphony and Kalamazoo Symphony, as well as performances with her ten-piece, all-female brass ensemble tenThing in Italy, Luxembourg, and North America.
Tine resides in Oslo and maintains an active role in her community as a regular TV and radio presenter, and teaches trumpet at the Norwegian Academy of Music. An all-round musician, she also regularly performs in some of the most iconic jazz bars in Norway.
