Pianist Ingfrid Breie Nyhus (b 1978) performs classical, contemporary and folk music. She has received several prizes for her performances and recordings. Breie Nyhus has been described by critics as “a virtuoso of timbre”, “with a folk musical playfulness”, being among the new generation of pianists “who really have something on their heart”. She grew up in a folk music family, first of all with the pols tradition from her father Sven Nyhus, but also with harding fiddle traditions, and she studied the piano in Norway, Finland and Germany.
