20.30 at Seven Arts
Christian Wallumrod Ensemble
Christian Wallumrod (piano); Arve Henriksen (trumpet); Nils Okland
(Hardanger fiddle); Per Odvar Johansonn (drums);
This beautiful, purely acoustic quartet brings together four of
Norway's most distinctive and creative musicians. Embracing the space
between classical, folk and jazz with compositions that perfectly
capture the distinctive, delicate soundworlds peculiar to these
exceptional musicians. Christian Wallumrod has enormous talent not
only as a composer but as a diverse and idiosyncratic performer. The
haunting sound of Arve Henriksen's trumpet has been heard in Leeds
previously with Iain Ballamy's Food, Dhafer Youssef and in an
unforgettable solo concert at Leeds Parish Church as part of
FUSELEEDS06. Hardanger fiddle player Nils Okland's exciting
contemporary take on Norway's rich folk heritage thrilled a sell-out
audience at Seven earlier this year. Completing the quartet, drummer
Per Odvar Johanson is a diverse musician who has played in many
settings including work with Kenny Wheeler and Nils Petter Molvaer.
