Tine Thing Helseth

Since the beginning of her career, Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth has championed the trumpet repertoire amongst audiences on six continents, meriting the highest critical praise for her soulful, lyrical sound and collaborative approach to music-making. An artist who challenges genre boundaries with an intensely creative, open-minded philosophy, Tine’s ever-expanding repertoire ranges from the classical period to contemporary works and new commissions.

She has been the recipient of numerous awards for her work in classical music, including “Newcomer of the Year” at the 2013 Echo Klassik Awards, the 2009 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, and second prize in the 2006 Eurovision Young Musicians Competition, to which Tine returned to serve as a juror for the 2016 competition. In 2007, Tine had the rare honor of being the first-ever classical artist to win Newcomer of the Year at the Norwegian Grammy® Awards (Spellemannprisen).

In May 2021 Tine released a highly anticipated album “Magical Memories For Trumpet and Organ” which was selected by Gramophone to feature in their “Recording of the Year 2021” August selection and received a 5-star review from BBC Music Magazine.

Tine has worked with some of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Bamberger Symphoniker, NDR Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Gürzenich-Orchester Cologne, Tonkünstler-Orchester Vienna, Philharmonia Orchestra, BBC Scottish Orchestra at the BBC Proms, Warsaw, Rotterdam, Oslo, Bergen, and Helsinki Philharmonic orchestras, Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Baltimore and Cincinnati Symphony orchestras, Singapore Symphony, KBS Symphony, and Hong Kong Philharmonic.
