Conducting

As a conductor, I have worked extensively with ensembles consisting of music students, semi-professional ensembles, and amateur ensembles. I have experience conducting symphonic orchestras, string orchestras, wind bands, brass ensembles, and choirs. Among other things, I have conducted full-scale operas such as Madama Butterfly (Puccini), La Traviata (Verdi), and Susannah (Floyd), major works like Carmina Burana (Orff) and Utferdsdråpa(Anderssen), as well as numerous symphonies and other symphonic works. I have had long-term engagements as the conductor for the Regional Wind Band for Tromsø and Nordre Nordland (TONN) and the Arctic Philharmonic Opera Choir, in addition to extensive freelance work as a conductor.
