Musical utopias.

POING’s repertoire is characterised by a near limitless imagination. The trio consists of three artists with exceptional musical range, equally adept at interpreting Åge Aleksandersen and Tom Waits as classical and contemporary music.

POING found each other at the Norwegian Academy of Music in 1999, where they studied what they have called ‘cursed instruments’ from a classical music perspective. Their first commissioned works came from their schoolmates, including Maja S.K. Ratkje, Lars Petter Hagen, and Øyvind Torvund. Since then, POING has commissioned and performed over 200 new works.

In 2024, the trio marked their 25th anniversary with the release of Almost Classic, featuring their own interpretations of, among others, Mahler and Tchaikovsky.

In Troldsalen, POING will perform works by Edvard Grieg, Gustav Mahler, Fartein Valen and a new piece by Anna Berg. NRK has referred to Berg as one of Norway’s greatest talents in composition, and she writes music for all types of ensembles and media – most recently for Dag Johan Haugerud’s film Drømmer. Anna Berg is Kode's composer in residence for 2025.
