She also uses the kalimba, zither and a range of percussion instruments. Her performances combine composed and improvised sound, and are often developed in response to the atmosphere in the room. Brunvoll was awarded the Nattjazz Talent Award for 2009. The jury described her as “a performer with a very personal expression and a unique, intimate interaction with the audience – a fully-fledged artist despite her young age
