The 3 Trumpets are also scheduled to collaborate with the National Youth Orchestra for their 20th Anniversary Performance as well as perform a series of concerts and workshops for children and youth in both Colombo and Trincomalee together with a one day master class for a group of Sri Lanka’s leading wind instrument players.
This will be the 14th group of musicians touring Sri Lanka as a portion of a wider music cooperation established between the Norwegian Embassy, Concerts Norway, Sewalanka Foundation and Aru Sri Art Theatre. Norwegian Bands such as Ras Nas, The Indian Core, Nils-Olav Johansen Quartet, SISU, Classical Evergreens Opera, Kohinoor, Tindra, Fiddle & Dance, Sounds of Strings, Rolf-Erik Nystrom, Julie & Marie and Lucky 3 have previously delighted Sri Lankan audiences. Similarly, Sri Lankan artists too, have been provided the opportunity to captivate audiences in Norway. The Galle Music Festival and Jaffna Music Festival are also a brainchild of the Music Cooperation in its efforts to create greater musical and cultural awareness across Sri Lanka.
