Oda Hjertine Voltersvik – Biography

The Norwegian pianist has been considered by the renown conductor Marios Papadopoulos as a “pianist with great sensitivity and lovely tone” and by pianist Gabriele Baldocci “a musician with a wonderful control of the instrument and innate sense of music.”

Oda has given recitals at important international venues including “Palermo Classica” International Festival, Leipzig Town Hall, the 1st International Folk Music Festival in Beijing; concert societies throughout the UK such as Powderham Castle ‘New Generation Artist Series’, the Edinburgh Society of Musicians, Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and Jacqueline du Pré Concert Hall in Oxford.

In April 2016, her debut CD “Khoreia” was recorded in collaboration with the Italian pianist Giulio Potenza (Volt&Potenza Duo) for the label Velut Luna. Italian Magazine Corriere Musicale ’s review (October 2016): “The duo has a great amalgam, the sound is always defined, and playing styles are well differentiated between the various periods. Their interpretative choices are never predictable”

As part of the Volt&Potenza Duo, she is a 1st prize winner of the Buono&Bradshaw competition, with invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall, May 2017. In 2016 Oda was a finalist in the Trinity Laban Soloist Competition (London) and in the Jaques Samuels Intercollegiate Competition (London, Wigmore Hall).

From 2006 to 2014, Oda has participated at the annual Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra’s Piano Festival and Summer Academy, where she has been playing in master classes for renown pianists such as Menahem Pressler, Gary Graffmann and Vladimir Krainev.

From 2005 to 2008, Oda has been selected for the `Young Musicians Talent Programme` at the Grieg Academy, University of Bergen, and was awarded prizes at the Norwegian National Youth Competition. From 2009 to 2016, she has taken part in the Jiri Hlinka Grand Piano Academy (Bergen).
