Australian Chamber Orchestra
ACO Pier 2/3, Suite 3/13A Hickson Rd, 2000 Dawes Point Kort
fös. 31.07.2026 19:00
Step into a sacred space, where the sublime voices of Trio Mediæval and Arve Henriksen bathe the Pier in a luminescent sound.
Henriksen is a revered and singular improvisor who can draw the most extraordinary tones from the trumpet. Reminiscent of the shakuhachi flute and pure voice of a child soprano, his unique sound melts effortlessly into the serene tones of his frequent collaborators, Trio Medieaval, whose divine voices breathe new life into plainsong.
Together, Henriksen and Trio Medieaval explore a sacred world of early music and Scandinavian folk melodies. It is an invitation to somewhere beyond our own experience, like standing on the threshold of an ethereal world of cold, holy beauty.

Arve Henriksen
Arve Henriksen is a classically trained Norwegian trumpeter whose ethereal, Japanese-influenced playing places him in a league of his own. Utilizing electronic atmospheres, ambient textures, and varied embouchures, he creates a warm, harmonically expressive sound reflecting both the natural world and sacred spaces. A founding member of improv-experimental group Supersilent, he records primarily for Rune Grammofon and ECM. Inspired by the shakuhachi flute while studying at Trondheim Conservatory, his minimalist aesthetic shaped landmark recordings including Chiaroscuro, Places of Worship, and Towards Language. A prolific collaborator with artists from Trio Mediaeval to J. Peter Schwalm, Henriksen maintains his singular sonic signature across every context.
