Håkon Kornstad

Saxophonist Håkon Kornstad is a one-of-a-kind artist, seamlessly merging his two tenors. Kornstad uses instrumental skill, live looping, and imagination to become a one-man orchestra, creating minimalist grooves, freeform elegies, eastern mysticism, and jazz balladry. Adding his newly trained operatic tenor voice, he brings forth an unprecedented sound, merging jazz improvisation with the grandeur of opera. He is the tenor who plays tenor. Enjoy “one of Norway’s most original and daring musicians” (DownBeat Magazine) as Kornstad delivers a groundbreaking solo performance where jazz and opera intertwine.
