Tord Gustavsen live in Oslo

Experience Tord Gustavsen live on September 18th

Tord Gustavsen is a Norwegian jazz pianist known for his lyrical and atmospheric compositions. His music often blends elements of jazz improvisation with influences from classical music, Scandinavian folk traditions, and sacred hymns. Characterized by spacious arrangements, subtle harmonic shifts, and a focus on melodic development, Gustavsen’s work frequently features intimate interplay between piano, bass, and drums – though he also explores solo piano performances. He has released numerous critically acclaimed albums as a leader and sideman, establishing himself as a significant figure in contemporary European jazz.

Grefsenkollen is a historic ski jumping hill located in Oslo, Norway. Originally constructed in 1916, it has undergone several renovations over the years. While historically significant for ski jumping competitions – hosting the 1952 Winter Olympics ski jumping event among others – Grefsenkollen has increasingly become a venue for cultural events in recent years. The area surrounding the jump offers panoramic views of Oslo and the Oslofjord. The site’s unique architectural structure and natural setting provide an unconventional backdrop for concerts. The venue's capacity is relatively limited, fostering a more intimate concert experience than larger arenas within the city.
