Silent Fires

Silent fires reunites four young emerging talents from the European improvised music scene: Karoline Wallace (voice), Hilde Marie Holsen (trumpet, effects), Håkon Aase (violin) and  Alessandro Sgobbio (piano, composition). Their debut album “Forests” is a collective exploration around the theme of spirituality in its multiple meanings. Silent Fires performs and improvises on stage with contemporary dancer Synne Garvik, offering a multi-art experience of improvised music and realtime choreography.
