Håkon Kornstad masterfully blends two seemingly contrasting musical genres: jazz and opera, in an innovative way. A highly acclaimed saxophonist and multiple award winner, Kornstad later pursued classical vocal studies and consistently surprises audiences by weaving opera arias into jazz compositions, creating a truly spectacular effect.

He is returning to Cincșor for the second time, after previously performing at the fortified church in 2017, during the first edition of the art residency.
