OSLO KAMMERAKADEMI unites some of the most exciting principle wind players in Norway and specialises in chamber music for winds with particular emphasis on the historic harmoniemusik ensemble. Using historical brass instruments for the classical repertoire lends both authenticity and transparency to the ensemble's sound and gives unique musical insight. Oslo kammerakademi's mission is to both enhance tradition and innovate. Through historically informed interpretations of classical repertoire as well as working with living composers to establish new commissioned works, Oslo kammerakadmi maintains a clear artistic profile of the highest level. The ensemble provides a unique forum for aesthetic experience which both entertains and gives a deeper understanding of both known and perhaps unfamiliar repertoire. In Norway and on the broader Scandinavian stage, the en­­semble satisfies a demand for first-rate chamber music. The ensemble breaks new ground by leaving the traditional niche of chamber music for winds by combining fresh interpretation with closeness to the audience. Oslo kammerakademi performs several concert productions each year, both in Norway and abroad, and has several CDs already to its credit, featuring music both historically significant and newly-composed. We look forward to meeting you in a musical realm of consistent, uncompromising quality and fresh programming. Welcome! Artist photo: Bo Hoffstrøm Slettjord & Anna-Julia Granberg
