Representation & New Works
#HunKomponerer
A long-term commitment to equality, representation, and new voices in brass band music. #HunKomponerer
Why
New voices should not just be invited in. They should be given space.
#HunKomponerer is rooted in Bjørsvik Brass' core values: experience and passion in collaboration. The initiative stems from the desire to create artistic meeting points that both inspire and challenge.
Since its start in 2022, the project has become an annual concert tradition where the programme exclusively features music composed by women.
History
From world premiere to a new concert tradition.
The initiative has evolved from individual works to a distinct part of Bjørsvik Brass' artistic profile.
