Composer and clarinetist born in 1982 in Oslo and raised in the Norwegian village of Sagesund
Her works have been performed by prestigious ensembles and orchestras around the world: Ensemble Recherche, Klangforum Wien, Arditti Quartet, Kronos Quartet, Wiener Symphoniker, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra…
Curiosity about nature and its evolution is omnipresent in her work: "By giving nature a voice in the concert hall, I hope to introduce the public to precious life forms and raise awareness of what we could lose if humans continue to alter nature."
