Her new work will premiere next week, and now you can watch the promo video for "13 Ways to Tame a Beast." The video was produced and directed by Anton Ligaarden / Paragon Features.
The story continues below the video.
Six orchestras from all over Norway are participating in the program. The orchestras each choose one composer from whom they commit to commissioning a completely new work. The ambition is that the works will reach a large audience, and bring new Norwegian composer talents to an international market. The academic program in KUPP runs over one year, and the commissioned works must be premiered by the orchestras within 24 months of the start of the program. Therese B. Ulvo's work is the first in the series.
The project is carried out in collaboration with Talent Norway, the Norwegian Composers' Association, the Norwegian Composers' Foundation, TONO, NB Noter, Sparebankstiftelsen DNB and Music Norway.
