- **Event Description**: The Norwegian jazz artist Håkon Kornstad presents a solo concert at Mindekirken featuring his jazz stylings as singer and saxophonist.

Born in Oslo, Norway in 1977, Kornstad took up the clarinet in grammar school and eventually turned to the saxophone and studies at the Trondheim Jazz Conservatory. He co-founded the group Wibutee, soon to be signed by Bugge Wesseltoft’s label Jazzland. On a visit to New York in 2009, he discovered opera and decided to take singing lessons. He applied to The Norwegian Academy of Opera, where he completed his master studies as operatic tenor in May 2014! 

Kornstad performs his music in several formats. This includes solo performances, the Håkon Kornstad Trio, and the orchestral formats of chamber and symphonic music. Blending opera and jazz, the Kornstad Ensemble featured harmonium and harpsichord in addition to a rhythm section. 

The orchestral works of Kornstad have been performed with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra (KORK), WDR Funkhausorchestra in Cologne in 2018, and the Stockholm Wind Symphonic. He also collaborates with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and director Terje Tønnesen.

The solo concerts, as at Mindekirken, are performed with solo saxophone, flute, flutonette, voice and live looping.
