The Norwegian pianist presents her latest programme, "Nordic Unrest" with piano pieces by Edvard Grieg, Geir Tveitt and Atli Heimir Sveinsson.  In these pieces the composers aimed to capture either elements within the dramatic Nordic nature or reflect tales or creatures originating from mythology and folklore.  In addition, the programme includes pieces reflecting an inner unrest from the characters described or the composers themselves.

Oda Voltersvik “… an extraordinary Scandinavian artist!” (Per Brevig, Musicians Club New York) - has performed at international venues such as Carnegie Weill Recital Hall and
the Norwegian Opera House.  Oda received the Norwegian
Arts Council's honourable work grant for 2021 and 2022.  She
holds a Masters in Performance from the Royal College of Music and an Artist Diploma from Trinity Laban Conservatoire (London).

​“... the audience was awestruck.  I felt I could visualize Norway in her interpretation of the concerto.  With each note, it was all there for me: waterfalls rushing down the mountains, peaceful green meadows and the running of trolls and supernatural forces.  It was the pianist’s technical command and unique artistic gift that could bring all of this to life!”
Lori Ann Reinhall, the Norwegian American "Oda Voltersvik performs Grieg with Panache"

Oda Voltersvik

Oda Voltersvik
Oda's website
“… immediately displays her sensitive artistry in Scriabin’s Fantasie in B minor, Op.28, with expansive sweeps across her keyboard... Voltersvik shows a natural affinity for the Prokofiev's spiky music (...)" 
Holly Harris, the Winnipeg Free Press, review of NEO
Oda Voltersvik - “an extraordinary Scandinavian  Artist!” (Per Brevig, Musicians Club New York) - has performed at numerous important venues internationally including Carnegie Hall and Scandinavia House (NYC), Wigmore Hall and St Martin-in-the-Fields (London), Palermo Classica International Festival, the Norwegian Opera House and every summer since 2014; artist-in-residence for a week at the Edvard Grieg museum in Bergen.  As a solo and chamber musician she has held recitals for important concert  societies and in major concert halls in Norway, the UK and the US.  

For the years 2021 and 2022, she received the honourable Norwegian Arts Council's work grant for younger and newly established artists.  Oda is a 1st prize winner of the Bradshaw & Buono International Competition.  Both for solo and chamber music projects, she has been awarded grants from the Arts Council Norway, Fund for Performing Artists, Music Norway, Bergen Municipality and Fegerstens Foundation among others.

Her CD releases NEO, Firebird and her piano duo recording Khoreia have received great reviews internationally.  Oda is also a member of an active piano duo, Volt&Potenza duo, and the leader of the Volt Ensemble - who performed at 1901 Arts Club in 2017.  For autumn 2021, she started her own  concert series “Volt Classics” in her home city of Bergen, Norway.

Oda holds a Masters in Performance from the Royal College of Music London and an Artist Diploma from Trinity Laban Conservatoire.
