Tine Thing Helseth, born in 1987, started to play trumpet at the age of seven and is already one of the leading trumpet soloists of her generation. Already in her short career Helseth has appeared as a soloist with, amongst others, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Vienna, Zurich and Stuttgart chamber orchestras, Ulster Orchestra, Philharmonie Baden-Baden, all the major Norwegian orchestras and further afield with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. Helseth's debut album (Classical Trumpet Concertos with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra) was released in November 2007 on the Norwegian Simax label and named “Classical Recording of the Year” by the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten. Her second album, 'My Heart is Ever Present', a collection of Tine's favourite Christmas songs and hymns released in November 2009, went to ‘gold’ in the Norwegian classical chart after just three weeks. Appearances at European festivals have included the Schleswig-Holstein, Bergen International and Kissinger Summer Festival where, in 2007, she was awarded the Luitpold Prize as the most outstanding and interesting young artist of the year. Amongst the long list of awards, Tine Thing Helseth has received the 2009 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship, “Newcomer of the Year” at the 2007 Norwegian Grammy Awards (and the first classical artist ever to be nominated), second prize in the 2006 Eurovision Young Musicians Competition and the prestigious Prince Eugen’s Culture Prize in Stockholm. Highlights at the end of 2009 included her U.S. recital debut in Washington D.C. and a return to the Ulster Orchestra. Future engagements during the 2009/2010 season include the Norrköpings Symphony Orchestra and Camerata Bern.
