Artist Biography
Håvard Gimse is best known for his interpretations of piano works by Sibelius and Grieg. Gimse's repertory covers works by such relatively obscure composers as Geirr Tveitt (much of the solo output and several concertos), Klaus Egge, Ole Bull, and others. Yet, Gimse can hardly be called a specialist, as his repertory takes in works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, among many others. He has toured throughout Europe, the Americas, and Japan and has performed at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, London's Wigmore Hall, and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Gimse joined cellist Truls Mørk for a recording of cello sonatas by Bridge, Britten, and Debussy in 2022. Gimse is the music director of the Fredrikstad Mozart Festival and a piano professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo.
