The OLSEN TRIO was founded in 2010 in Oslo by the three young musicians Mathias Susaas Halvorsen (Piano), Magnus Boye Hansen (Violin) and Steven Walter (Cello). The ensemble develops new concert formats and has received much audience and critical acclaim with their concert programs in absolute darkness. They have performed throughout Scandinavia and Germany, amongst others at the renowned Musikfest Stuttgart. They will be performing a piece written in 1939 La Veta's own composer, David Geppert. From the composer: This trio for violin, cello and piano was composed in 1939, when I was an undergraduate student at Northwestern University. In March 1940 it won first place in the Amateur Class competition sponsored by the Illinois Federation of Music Clubs, with a commendation placing its composer "on the level with professional writers" which was welcome news indeed for an eighteen-year-old music student. Grandson Steven Walter, who resides in Germany, together with his two very gifted colleagues from Norway, have graciously included this piece in their La Veta program. These three young musicians, who perform as the Olsen Trio, already have gained significant recognition in Europe for their contributions to the musical culture there, in the form of music festivals involving a mixture of traditional and avant-garde styles."
