Trondheimsolistene was founded in 1900 by Trondheim’s Music Professor Bjarne Fiskum. His formidable ability to seek out talented young musicians, provide them with the skills to perform at their best and then to encourage them to give the maximum of themselves, became the driving force behind the early success of the ensemble. The ensemble soon became known for its energy and warmth. Trondheimsolistene turned professional, but the spirit of youth stayed, and student musicians became part of its constitution. Geir Inge Lotsberg, Artistic Director since 2017, instilled a new meticulousness in the ensemble and began taking them down new musical paths. The ensemble’s close connection with Trondheim, its nature and Norway’s ever-changing seasons is exactly what you hear in the unmistakable Trondheim sound – an authentic, honest and invigorating performance.
