Arve Tellefsen - Statue

Arve Tellefsen is a violinist from Trondheim, born in 1936. He showed early talent and started playing at the age of six at Trondhjem's music school. He gradually progressed through the degrees until he completed his education at the Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen. During a long solo career, he has played with several of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. He has released several records and received many awards, including five Spellemann awards. His warm and popular appearance was not only expressed through his music, but also as a popular TV guest on many channels. He was long known as a "mother-in-law's dream" and "Norway's most desirable bachelor", but that was until he married Kristin Slørdahl in 2005.
