The 10-woman Norwegian brass ensemble tenThing will bring unique arrangements of such iconic songs as Mozart's Turkish March and Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

The ensemble comprises three flugelhorns, a French horn, three trombones, a bass trombone and a tuba. The instrument variety enabled the outfit to dazzle at the 2011 Norwegian Grammy Awards.

They will perform at the Beijing May Festival and will soon release their debut album, featuring arrangements of works by Weill, Bizet, Grieg, Piazzolla and Albeniz, as well as original compositions by Dutch composer Jan Koetsier.

7:30 pm, May 15. The concert hall of National Center for the Performing Arts. 010-6655-0000.
