Håkon Kornstad
saxophonist & singer

PHOTO: ANDREAS ULVO
Håkon Kornstad is an award winning Norwegian jazz saxophonist, recognised by jazz critics around the world. In 2009 he discovered his singing voice, and he finished a master’s degree at the Norwegian Opera Academy in 2014. He is now dividing his time between two almost contrasting musical genres — combining them in unprecedented ways.
“The Norwegian saxophonist and singer turned what could have been a circus act into a musical tour de force” 
The Guardian (UK)
“[He] miraculously drew together the worlds of opera arias and jazz expression, a rare feat of a jazz-ical crossover venture with artistic integrity and heart intact.” 
Downbeat (US)
“He is balancing these different elements in a way that only artists with a rare musical insight are able to do.”
