Henriette Eilertsen Trio

Flutist Henriette Eilertsen has in recent years established herself as an innovative voice on the Norwegian jazz scene. With a playful approach to the jazz flute, she moves effortlessly between contemporary jazz, improvisation, and chamber music expressions. In 2024 she received the prestigious musician's prize at the Kongsberg Jazz Festival for her fresh contribution to the Norwegian jazz scene.

Henriette Eilertsen Trio just released their debut album «Moder» («Mother») - a warm, mysterious and alluring sonic bath that has earned them a reputation as one of the most tightly-knit trios on the Norwegian jazz scene right now. The album has received great reviews in several papers, and was features as on of the best jazz albums of march 2026 on Bandcamp.

«The music does not strive for the avant-garde for its own sake; instead, it seeks a deeper resonance with the listener’s subconscious. Eilertsen has successfully translated her historical instrument into a future-facing language, delivering a debut for the trio that is as intellectually stimulating as it is emotionally generous.» James Broscheid, The Big Takeover.
The trio invites you into a world where melodic lines float above intricate rhythmic foundations - expressive and evocative, inspired by jazz, folk music, and experimental soundscapes.
