Tuva Halse is this year's NTNU Ambassador
- It means a lot to be appointed NTNU Ambassador 2024. It was at Jazzlinja that everything started and my time here has shaped me into the musician I am today, says violinist and composer Tuva Halse.
She received the given appointment on Tuesday evening at Dokkhuset in Trondheim, in connection with the opening of Jazzfest 2024.

THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL NEWSPAPER
We finally have the pleasure of sharing this year's festival newspaper in a digital version.
Here you can, among other things, read greetings from mayor Kent Ranum and general manager Ernst Wiggo, an interview with Sondre Ferstad about his commissioned work, get information about all the concerts at this year's festival and be inspired by our festival routes.
It was also published in a paper version as an insert in Adresseavisen on Saturday 27 April. Happy reading!

Interview with Sondre Ferstad
We've had a chat with composer and multi-instrumentalist Sondre Ferstad!
At this year's festival, he will premiere the audiovisual work Pieces of Wood - with phenomenal musicians and artists. The work is a tribute to the joy of creation.
He says: "In a society where we can pay our way out of most problems, we have stopped making things ourselves. I want to show how beautiful creation can be. That's why we stand on stage today and create something together, musicians and artists. Music and wood sculpture. Music in the moment and improvisation in wood carving."
