EPLE TRIO med fire konsertar i Desember (2011)

Eple Trio (Andreas Ulvo, Sigurd Hole og Jonas Howden Sjøvaag) har de senere årene markert seg som en av Norges mest innovative og spennende trioer. Med tre plateutgivelser på NORCD og en lang rekke konserter og festivalopptredener bak seg, har Eple Trio blitt et navn mange kjenner til. Musikken er blant annet preget av vakre melodier og klanger inspirert av norsk tradisjonsmusikk, og medlemmene i trioen har utviklet et helt spesielt samspill seg imellom over en periode på snart 10 år. På Desemberkonsertene presenterer de sitt mest sakrale materiale i forbindelse med julehøytiden. Det er duket for en annerledes, stillferdig og stemningsfull førjulskonsert, der kirkerommets klanglige kvaliteter vil benyttes til fulle.

07. desember: Kulturkirken Jakob, Oslo (19:30)
08. desember: Hov Kirke, Hov i Land (20:00)
09. desember: Herdahlsalen, Kongsvinger
15. desember: Øvre Rendalen Kirke, Rendalen (19:00)

Billetter til Kulturkirken Jakob kan kjøpes på billettservice.no

We are back on the track! Announcing some very nice releases before Christmas 2011. Stay tuned!

AKKU started as a Norwegian trio in 1996, with the members Ruth Wilhelmine Meyer and Elfi Sverdrup as vocalists, and Lars Andreas Haug as a tuba player. In 2010 the trio became a quintet as the Norwegian percussionist Knut Aalefjær and the polish saxophonist Grzech Piotrowski joined the group and developed the musical language of AKKU5.
The base of their music is the sounds of the northern polar part of the world, like the Inuit female throat-singing tradition, Norwegian folk songs and different Siberian traditions with overtone-singing among others. These musicians have big variations in their musical background, making AKKU5 - a conglomerate of musical expressive colours.
