She has been called Norway’s Janine Jansen before in the Dutch press. Not for nothing, as Vilde Frang is one of the most talented and acclaimed violinists of her generation.

With her exceptional talent, Oslo-born Frang, who was born in Oslo in 1986, quickly made a name for herself. As a 12-year-old, she made her debut with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra at the invitation of conductor Mariss Jansons. In the years that followed, she played with the world’s most famous orchestras, including the Vienna Philharmonic, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In 2023, Vilde Frang appeared in our country with Philippe Herreweghe and the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées.

With Arcangelo, the chamber music ensemble founded in 2010 by cellist Jonathan Cohen, Frang has had a musical relationship for over a decade. At this concert, the musicians dive into the heyday of the Baroque era, including J.S. Bach’s Violin Concerto in E. Soprano Julia Doyle adds extra drama and feeling with arias by Handel and Bach’s youngest son Johann Christian.
