Music for a While (established 2004 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian kabaret ensemble led by Norway's uncrowned queen of cabaret, Tora Augestad.
Their music is obtained from the cabaret, baroque and church music repertoire, with elements of jazz. They present different musical styles with a very distinctive sound.
Music for a While released their debut album Weill Variations (2007). The follow up album Graces that refrain (2012) received critical acclaim. It was accompanied by a tour in Norway. Their third release was the album Canticles of Winter (2014).
