PUST means breath in Norwegian. It also means to take a break, to get away, to breathe. You can hold it too, but that's not a very good idea when you’re singing.

PUST is six skilled singers based in Oslo. The group’s key qualities are versatility, creativity and ”voiceplay” in addition to improvisation combined with a high level of musicianship. The singers are highly scholared and music-educated, with long experience from various vocal ensembles.

PUST finds inspiration somewhere between folksong, jazz and ethnic vocal music. Tradition and innovation are a part of the groups musical expression. All the compositions and arrangements are written for or by the group.

Members of PUST:
Anne Hilde Grøv (soprano)
Jorunn Lovise Husan (soprano)
Elisabeth Anvik (alto)
Jostein Hasselgård (tenor)
Håvard Gravdal (baryton)
Mads Iversen (bass)
