BOA Trio

The trio BOA was formed in 2006, and the current members of the ensemble are Tora Augestad (vocals), Morten Barrikmo (clarinets) and Tanja Orning (cello), all of whom are prominent and high-profile performers of contemporary music in Norway and abroad. All three musicians also have extensive experience playing classical music, jazz, pop and rock. "Max 3.30 Pop goes avantgarde/avantgarde goes pop"In 2010 BOA initiated the project "Max 3.30 Pop goes avantgarde/avantgarde goes pop", in which they invited a number of Norway"s foremost composers from different genres to compose "pop songs" for the trio. The result is a successful combination of lovely and eccentric songs which both belong to and are alien to the two genres.
