TERJUNGENSEMBLE

TERJUNGENSEMBLE has established itself as a chamber orchestra with a distinctly contemporary profile and as an important player on the Norwegian music scene. The ensemble aims to contribute to the enrichment of the contemporary repertoire by regularly commissioning new works. New music appears on its concert programmes alongside historically important works, creating a dialogue that is both contrasting and stimulating. Founded in 2019, the ensemble quickly established itself after COVID restrictions were lifted, thanks to the quality of its performances, both in concert and on disc.

The group has premièred numerous works, several of which have been performed at the Ultima Oslo contemporary music festival. Tyler Futrell’s Stabat Mater and the projects built around this work in 2022 have helped to make TERJUNGENSEMBLE one of today’s leading independent ensembles of its kind. 

Also prizewinning new pieces like “Fleurs” by Jan Erik Mikalsen and “Å vere I livet” by Agnes Ida Pettersen, along with works by Jon Øivind Ness (“Vóren”), Martin Ødegaard (“Woods”) and Ørjan Matre (“Three songs after Ragnar Vigdal”) has lifted the ensemble forward and given it a larger focus. 

The release of the “Stabat Mater” album on BIS records in September this year, will be the ensemble’s fourth record in relatively short time; the previous albums “Kimen” (2020), “Den annen sang” (2021) and “Vóren / Fleurs” (2023) are all on the Norwegian label Fabra.
