Fint Fransk Orkester is the closest one can come to Montmartre in Paris without leaving Norway.
With style, elegance, humour and virtuosity, the audience is taken on a journey deep into the French chanson tradition and introduced to a distinctive world of original songs and colourful characters. Fint Fransk Orkester is a feast for both eyes and ears, and once the performance has cast its spell, the desire to return is inevitable.
Fint Fransk Orkester offers chansons and cabaret, string swing and hip-hop, cœur et douleur (heart and pain), polished trombone and finely tuned accordion, beautiful solo vocals and delightful duets. The repertoire primarily features music and lyrics written by the orchestra itself, alongside inventive interpretations of French predecessors such as Serge Gainsbourg, Charles Trenet and Django Reinhardt.
Fint Fransk Orkester consists of five Francophile jazz musicians:
Eva Bjerga Haugen (vocals/keyboards), Dominique Brackeva (vocals/trombone), Johan Egdetveit (accordion), Andreas Barsnes Onarheim (guitar/vocals) and Theodor Barsnes Onarheim (double bass). The orchestra has released two albums to enthusiastic critical acclaim at home and abroad.
