Trondheim Voices started out as a Christmas Concert, initiated by Midtnorsk Jazzsenter (MNJ) in 2001, and subsequently developed into a permanent group with a consistent vocal ensemble and a specially made repertoire.
Trondheim Voices is a department of high priority at MNJ (Midtnorsk Jazzsenter), with Tone Åse as artistic leader.
They appeared at Moldejazz 2003, and again in 2006 in the production Norwegian Sanctus by Terje Bjørklund, interacting with Trondheim Soloists, Arve Henriksen and Stian Westerhus.
They premiered the show «Bingo» at «Olavsfestdagene» 2008, with lyrics by Siri Gjære and music by Elin Rosseland, Ståle Storløkken and Live Maria Roggen.
