Borealis’ unique space for emerging composers returns with an exciting new batch of music!
Expect scenes from a Cuban childhood rendered in layers of abstract textures; a virtuosic vision of a call to the salmon; spatialised experimental electronics; and a compositional foray into the worlds of rock and punk as composers Daiyen Jone Castro, Eira Sjaastad Huse, Evelin Lindberg and Jakob Thonander Glans meet the musicians of Ensemble Obsidian.
Creating space and time for ideas to develop, risks to be taken, and challenges to be met, Borealis Ung Komponist gives space to four Norwegian composers in the developing stage of their careers. Working together across a year, with expert guidance from mentors Okkyung Lee, Camille Norment and Sigurd Fischer Olsen, the composers have been collaborating with local musicians playing cello, flute and voice, to coax their new visions into life.
Now in its seventh year, Borealis Ung Komponist aims to create greater understanding between composers and musicians, investing time in dialogue and development of new works.
