Marthe Lea Band

Marthe Lea tackles the mysteries of music in an ingenious way. With her band, they deliver joyful, uninhibited music that imitates life. The Norwegian quintet‘s message to the public is clear: while respecting tradition, they want to take jazz in a different direction.

This concert is organised as part of Better Live, a project co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme.
