Jeg var i år så utrolig heldig at jeg mottok Statens stipend for etablerte kunstnere, et stipend som dekker 50% inntekt i 10 år. Målet er å gjøre mottakerne i stand til å leve av å være utøvende kunstnere. I denne perioden ønsker jeg å utvikle meg som dirigent, også for orkester. Mitt mål er å dirigere kor- og orkesterverker i større utstrekning enn før. Og opera! Første trinn er masterclass i Berlin i november, noe jeg attpåtil fikk reisestipend til fra Fond for utøvende kunstnere.
I was so fortunate that I this year go a huge scholarship from the norwegian state, paying me 50% salary for 10 years to develop myself as a conductor!I In this period, I wish to learn more about orchestral conducting, and I start with masterclass for conductors in Berlin:
Berlin Sinfonietta
10th International Masterclass for Conductors
Vivaldi, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovitch, Elgar
November 2nd – 7th 2014
We are happy to celebrate our 10th masterclass with the world renowned “Mentor of Conductors,” Maestro Kenneth Kiesler. It is a rare opportunity in Europe to experience his highly regarded and important approach to teaching conducting. Kiesler, who is widely regarded for his interpretations of Shostakovitch and Mozart, has a long and distinguished history with string orchestras and string repertoire. He will dedicate this masterclass exclusively to string pieces from different periods; from the Baroque to the 20th century.
