Marianna Shirinyan is an Armenian-Danish pianist who has won several awards. She was the first person to receive the Danish Radio’s new classical artist award, the “P2 Prize” in October 2010. Her CD debut from the same year with chamber music by Chopin was recorded together with the cellist Andreas Brantelid and violinist Vilde Frang. The recording won the award “Danish Chamber Music/Solo Release of the Year”. By the way Andreas Brantelid is also among the artists of this season in Mogens Dahl Koncertsal (March 28th)

Norwegian Tine Thing Helseth has stood up for the trumpet repertoire since the beginning of her career and deserves the highest praise for her soulful, lyrical sound and collaborative approach to music creation. Helseth – as an artist – always challenges the boundaries of the genre with an intensely creative, open-minded philosophy. Her ever-growing repertoire ranges from the classical period to contemporary works and new pieces written and dedicated to herself.

Here in Mogens Dahl Concert Hall we got the very pleasant acquaintance with Tine during COLLAGE FESTIVAL in October 2021. Here, too, we were able to experience at first hand her versatility when she played both Haydn’s and Bent Sørensen’s trumpet concertos and later that same evening performing as a vocal soloist in a jazzy repertoire – what a performance! Please enjoy a musician of a very special caliber.
