Biography
A unique and fresh combination of Jazz improvisations and classical music is presented on stage by the Norwegian ensemble Music for a while surrounding the singer Tora Augestad. Together with the congenial musicians Trygve Brøske, Stian Carstensen, Mathias Eick, Martin Taxt and Pål Hausken the ensemble interprets own arrangements of ballads and songs by Kurt Weill, but also of classical lieder and arias by J. S. Bach, Henry Purcell, John Dowland, G.F. Handel, Franz Schubert and other composers. The exceptional ensemble has already performed at the Beethovenfest Bonn, the Dresden Music Festival, the Handel-Festival Halle, the Musikfest Stuttgart and other festivals and has released the three CDs Weill Variations (2007), Graces that refrain (2012) and Canticles of Winter (2014) on Grappa. A fourth CD is planned for 2019.
