A Norwegian percussion group, “Sisu”, will give a free performance at 8 p.m. on March 5 in the concert hall of the Hanoi Conservatory, 77 Hao Nam Street, Dong Da District.

Established in 1993, “Sisu” has become one of Scandinavia’s most prominent contemporary music bands.

“Sisu is a prime example of the young generation of musicians who, unlike their elders, actually believe that the history of western music doesn’t stop at Debussy,” said renowned Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin.

Geir Johnson, who is the director of the Oslo Contemporary Music Festival ULTIMA, said Sisu emerged as part of the vibrant new Oslo music scene in the 1990s.

This energy stemmed in part from the stimulating teaching environment at the Norwegian Academy of Music in the 1980s.
