Cecilie Løken (flute) and Sidsel Walstad (harp) began their collaboration at the Norwegian Academy of Music when they met in the 1990s.
Their debut as a duo made a strong impression, marked by two concerts at Gamle Logen in Oslo and Nybrokajen in Stockholm, along with a CD release in 2003. Since then they have been invited to festivals, concerts and tours across Norway and abroad, including Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Spain and Greenland.
They represented Norway in Rikskonsertene’s “Upbeat” programme and performed as soloists in Thommesen’s flute and harp concerto at the Risør Festival. They have made several television appearances and been featured in concert and chamber music series in both Norway and Sweden. In recent years they have performed at Vinterfest i Bergstaden (Røros) and the Gloger Festival (Kongsberg).
In 2026 they premiered a new children’s concert as part of the series Mellom-rom, presented by the Oslo Chamber Music Festival:
“Heaven and Sea – Music for Angels and Pirates!”
A magical musical journey with flute and harp, where the notes soar like angels and clash like pirates! Cecilie Løken and Sidsel Walstad guide you through enchanting melodies full of imagination, playfulness and the joy of music. Perfect for audiences aged 4–100.
