Norwegian premiere of Changes

Saxophone virtuoso Marius Neset returns to Cosmopolite – a stage where he has given many unforgettable performances over the years – this time together with the world-renowned contemporary ensemble London Sinfonietta.

For two decades, Neset has pushed the boundaries of what jazz can be. With his distinctive and energetic playing, he blends spontaneous improvisation with complex, orchestral landscapes. In Changes – written for London Sinfonietta – he explores life’s many transformations: the subtle and quiet, the vast and overwhelming.

Together with drummer Anton Eger and London Sinfonietta, Neset creates a musical universe that pulses between control and chaos – from tender melancholy to explosive energy.

This collaboration has captivated audiences around the world and received outstanding reviews after its world premiere at the BBC Proms in 2022. Now you can experience it live at Cosmopolite on January 29 – an evening of uncompromising musicianship, intensity, and interplay at the highest level.
