The divertimento as a musical genre dates back to the nineteenth century. Divertimenti were composed for various social occasions and were intended to be light, uncomplicated and cheerful. Such pieces were often scored for small string ensemble.
Over the years this effortless, elegant form has appeared in many different musical styles and, to a large extent, set the standard for the virtuosic concert chamber music we know today. A number of the most prominent composers of our age have engaged with this most fascinating ensemble style and have contributed to its further refinement as a chamber-symphonic showpiece.

Trondheim Solistene (The Trondheim Soloists) is one of Norway's most exciting young ensembles performing on the international stage. Thanks to the orchestra's dedication, commitment and enthusiasm it has quickly established itself as an innovative chamber orchestra with invitations to collaborate with artists of the highest level across a broad range of genres.
Formed in 1988 by Bjarne Fiskum, TrondheimSolistene was for many years the main forum for professional concert training in Trondheim.
The orchestra announced its arrival on the international stage in 1990 with a rapturously received debut in London and further international concerts followed confirming the orchestra's reputation. In 1999 the orchestra was invited to accompany the violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter on her new recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons for Deutsche Grammophon, thus initiating an important artistic collaboration for both groups. In 2001 the orchestra made its Carnegie Hall debut with Mrs Mutter followed by further concerts in Washington, Boston, Chicago and Ann Arbor with the violinist Joshua Bell. In 2007 Trondheim-Solistene toured Germany, Spain and Ireland with Mrs Mutter and in 2008 the orchestra accompanies her once more on an extensive tour of the Far East with concerts in China, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, in addition to performances at the Lucerne Festival.
The orchestra regularly performs with many of Scandinavia's leading artists, and recent collaborations have included concerts with Leif Ove Andsnes, Lars Anders Tomter, Arve Tellefsen, Solveig Kringelborn and Ole Edvard Antonsen. The orchestra is a leading advocate of Scandinavian music, and regularly includes Scandinavian music in its programming, recordings and commissions.
