Tine Thing Helseth

Tine Thing Helseth is a world-renowned female trumpet player from Norway. Tine Thing is known as one of the foremost trumpet players of our time. She has worked with numerous orchestras, and that is actually how I heard of her for the first time.

On top of being a world-renowned trumpet player, Helseth has a group consisting of ten females in a brass ensemble called tenThing. It started out as a group of four girls that played trumpet and Tine Thing thought it would be cool to make a full brass ensemble of only girls. They have this group to have fun and that is one thing I can appreciate. I think as musicians we get so worked up with ensembles and performances that we forget to have fun.

This video is a short introduction of the group and then I will also provide their Spotify playlist
