Deputy Director of TONO, Svein Korshamn, assists the scholarship committee in its work.
– One of TONO's tasks is to work towards the innovation of music. We do this through our ordinary work with licensing music and settling accounts with rights holders, but our scholarship schemes are also an important part of this. We know that a lot of music is created and performed every year as a direct result of our scholarships, says TONO Deputy Director, Svein Korshamn, who assists the scholarship committee in their work.
