Two years later, Håkon has started gaining reputation as an operatic tenor in Norway. He was enrolled to the Norwegian Opera School for a master’s degree 2011-2013. Spring 2012 saw him starting to do concerts and include his singing with his solo saxophone show.
A Tenor Battle was when the hipest saxophonists in town competed in playing the fastest and loudest saxophone solo in clubs in the fifties. In Håkon Kornstad’s tenor battle this is a “fight” between an operatic tenor and a tenor saxophonist - in the same man... Kornstad’s tenor battle is still an experiment, but he will perform some concerts in Norway this summer.
Also his solo concerts are starting to see glimpses of tenor singing.
