Tine Thing Helseth performs Deirdre Gribbin commission on Music Network tour

Performing trumpet concertos by familiar names like Mozart, Albinoni and Haydn as well as newly-composed works, Helseth is unabashed in her mission to open up the repertoire to new styles, new ways of making music, and especially new audiences: onstage, she loves nothing better than sharing details about a favourite work.

In addition to solo performances with many of Europe’s leading orchestras and chamber groups, Helseth has formed several ensembles including her quintet, TTHQ, and tenThing, her all-female brass ensemble. For this tour, she is accompanied by regular collaborator Gunnar Flagstad on piano.

Deirdre Gribbin on her new piece: 

'Through every wind that blows' inspired by the folklore of mythical Connla's Well allowed me to conjure up a dramatically vibrant,  swift musical dialogue for the wonderful Tine Thing Helseth and Gunnar Flagstad. I am delighted that it will be part of Music Network's Autumn Season.
