Helge Kjekshus

**Helge Kjekshus** is a Norwegian classical pianist celebrated for his delicate interpretations of Scandinavian composers. With a focus on bringing Nordic classical works to modern audiences, he’s collaborated frequently with violinist Arvid Engegård, notably on albums like *Grieg: Violin Sonatas* and *Hjalmar Borgstrøm Complete Works for Violin and Piano*. His recent projects, such as *Nordiska romanser* and *Johan Halvorsen Chamber Music*, highlight his passion for unearthing and revitalizing Norway’s rich musical heritage. Kjekshus’s work often balances well-loved pieces by Grieg or Sinding with deeper cuts, like his exploration of Wolfgang Plagge’s compositions in *... In Circles*. A champion of chamber music, his recordings blend technical precision with warm, inviting performances that feel both timeless and fresh.
