Mari Samuelsen: "MARI LIVE"

Join Mari Samuelsen and friends for an intimate interactive concert live from Newtone Studios, Oslo. With some of her closest musical friends, Mari will perform works by Philip Glass, Ludovico Einaudi and Brian Eno, plus world premieres from her newest Deutsche Grammophon releases. During the live performance, you are invited to vote for the encore you'd like to hear. Then join the musicians in the Virtual Green Room afterwards, where they will be answering your questions.

Mari Samuelsen, one of today’s most innovative and imaginative violinists, is enjoying a remarkable rise on the international concert stage thanks to a mixture of artistry and breathtaking musical finesse. She is an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist and in 2019 released her self-titled album, MARI, which BBC Music Magazine described as having "a radiant eloquence that traces the music's emotional peaks and troughs with a compelling sense of inevitability".
