I am pleased to say that Det norske komponistfond (The Norwegian Composers’ fund) has offered me a composer grant to develop the musical piece The hero with a thousand faces. Heming Valebjørg, percussionist in the Oslo Philharmonic, ordered the piece for the windband Østre Aker Musikkorps. We are in the beginning stages of development right now, but I can reveal that the piece will explore storytelling through music, – and I cannot wait to share it with you all! I also want to express my gratitude to Det norske komponistfond for this opportunity.
