The ensemble was founded in 1988 and has been an arena for professional concert training for string-players at the Music Conservatory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The Trondheim Soloists have recorded 6 CDs including Vivaldi’s ’'Four Seasons’' and all of the music for strings by Edvard Grieg.
Their performing style has been described as a hybrid between modern techniques and period ideas: they use baroque bows but on metal stringed instruments.
Trondheim Soloists are perhaps mostly known for their extensive collaboration with German classical violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.
In November 2001, the Trondheim Soloists made their Carnegie Hall debut alongside Mutter [11]
