An unconventional quartet born at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo, Silent Fires reunites four young bandleaders from the European improvised music scene: singer Karoline Wallace, trumpeter-soundscaper Hilde Marie Holsen, violinist Håkon Aase and pianist-composer Alessandro Sgobbio. Their debut album “Forests” is a collective exploration around the theme of spirituality in its multiple meanings. Silent Fires performs and improvises on stage with contemporary dancer Synne Garvik, offering a multi-art experience of improvised music and realtime choreography. The band will present their new album on tour in France, Germany, Italy, Norway and Portugal.
