Norwegian artist Susanna, the woman behind Susanna and the Magical Orchestra and a creator of bold, original and enrapturing music since 2004, is releasing a new EP, “The Harmony of Evening”, from her collaboration with The Norwegian Radio Orchestra. The EP is a follow-up to her highly acclaimed album called “Baudelaire & Orchestra’’ from 2023. The first single, ‘The Enemy,’ was released on February 21st.

Susanna has done a deep dive into the universe of the poetry by Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) and his ‘Les Fleurs du mal’ since 2020 and her solo album “Baudelaire & Piano”. In 2022, she did a follow-up and was joined by Stina Stjern on tapes and French artist Delphine Dora on keyboards and vocals. Bendik Baksaas has done several catchy remixes for the dance floor, and there has been a line of beautiful music videos and live videos made by Carsten Aniksdal and Sølve Sæther, Jenny Berger Myhre and Sigurd Ytre-Arne. 2022 also saw an additional “Elevation” EP from Susanna, Stina Stjern and Delphine Dora. In 2023, Susanna debuted with a full orchestra, Kringskastingsorkesteret or The Norwegian Radio Orchestra, and released the mentioned “Baudelaire & Orchestra’’.
