The core and artistic direction of the ensemble is made up of Else Bø, Sigrid Elisabeth Stang and Marianne Baudouin Lie, who are joined by a variety of musicians. The ensemble’s M.O is to provide an artistic arena for experimental and cross-genre creativity within classical, jazz, popular music and contemporary music. This has resulted in several large-scale projects and an abundance of forms of expression. Alpaca was named Performer of the Year 2020 by the Norwegian Society of Composers.
