tenThing at Northeastern Illinois University

Formed in 2007 by Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth as a fun and exciting collaboration among musical friends, the 10-piece, all-female brass ensemble has firmly established itself on the international scene to great acclaim. tenThing is celebrated for its commitment to outreach and access to music through a diverse repertoire, from Mozart to Weill, Grieg to Bernstein, and Lully to Bartók. The group works closely with Norwegian guitarist and arranger Jarle Storløkken in the arrangement of scores for the ensemble, enabling them to play pieces of differing instrumentations. tenThing first came to prominence thanks to performances in their native Norway, eventually delighting a huge national audience by opening the 2011 Norwegian Grammy Awards.
