Marta Christine Sandal (31 January 1878 – 2 March 1930) was a Norwegian mezzo-soprano, best known for singing songs by Edvard Grieg.
Marta Christine Sandal was born on 31 January 1878 in Aker (now Oslo) to Arne Gulbrandsen Sandal (1851–1932) and Amalie Henriette Olsen (1851–1933).[1][2]
By the age of 12, she had made a name for herself as a singing talent in A. M. Hanche's children's choir. She was a soloist in the choir before King Oscar II, who later facilitated her admission to Music Conservatory in Christiania, where she was mentored by Hildur Schirmer. She then studied in Berlin with Etelka Gerster, followed by a year studying in Paris.[2]
