THE NORWEGIAN RADIO ORCHESTRA is known and cherished throughout the land and regarded by music-loving Norwegians with a unique combination of respect and affection. Owing to its remarkably diverse repertoire, it is doubtless the orchestra heard most often — on radio, television, and the internet, and at its many and diverse venues around the country.
It is a flexible orchestra, playing everything from symphonic and contemporary classical music to pop, rock, folk and jazz. Every year the orchestra performs together with internationally acclaimed artists at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, which is aired to millions of viewers worldwide. Among those with whom it has collaborated in recent years are Kaizers Orchestra, Mari Boine, Jarle Bernhoft, Diamanda Galàs, René Fleming, Andrew Manze, Anna Netrebko, and Gregory Porter.
The Norwegian Radio Orchestra was founded by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 1946. Its first conductor, Øivind Bergh, led the ensemble in a series of concerts from the main studio that established the basis of its popularity and its status as a national treasure. The orchestra continues to perform in the context of important media events. It is comprised of highly talented classical instrumentalists, yet its musical philosophy has remained the same: versatility, a light-hearted approach, a curiosity for all kinds of music, and an unwillingness to pigeonhole musical styles.

Sverre Indris Joner (born 1963, in Oslo) is a composer, arranger, orchestra leader, pianist, percussionist (and occasional author, illustrator, actor etc.). He has founded and lead a number of orchestras and bands, most of them associated with Latin American music. These include the Hovedøen Social Club, Electrocutango, La Descarga, Tango for 3, for which he has either composed or arranged their repertoires.
He has also composed or arranged for a number of concert repertoires for symphony orchestras both locally in Norway and abroad. Particularly highly-acclaimed are his symphonic tango projects as well as “Clasicos a lo cubano”, where his groundbreaking salsa arrangements of classical pieces for symphony orchestra with KORK (The Norwegian Radio Orchestra) hit #1 on the world music sales list in Mexico. He has also composed for a number of plays and dance performances including Lullaby, @lice, Tanghost and Mater Nexus.
As a soloist and arranger, Joner has worked with a number of symphony orchestras, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Münchner Rundfunkorchester, the Bremen German Chamber Philharmonic, the Dresden Symphony Orchestra, Junge Philharmonie Salzburg, Komische Oper Berlin and all of the Norwegian orchestras. He also composes, conducts and plays with chamber orchestras, brass bands and big bands, and has scored films.

One of the foremost current day bandoneon players, Per Arne Glorvigen’s contact with the instrument began as late as the age of 25, when after having finished the State Academy of Music in Oslo he moved to Paris and met Argentinian bandoneon maestro Juan José Mosalini.
After studying with Mosalini, and several sojourns in Buenos Aires later, Glorvigen began his career as a professional bandoneonist and meetings with tango legends Piazzolla, Pugliese, Salgán and a close friendship with poet Horacio Ferrer have proven critical in this process. In addition to playing tango, Glorvigen has expanded the repertoire of the bandoneon by playing everything from baroque, kletzmer, pop, and last but not least, contemporary music. Composers such as Willem Jeths (Holland), Bernd Franke (Germany), Henrik Hellstenius (Norway) and Luis Naon (Argentina/France) have all dedicated concertos to Glorvigen. Among his musical partners are artists and ensembles including Nicolas Altstaedt, Natalie Clein, Marie- Pierre Langlamet, Göran Sölscher, Tango for 3, the Leipziger, Delian, Maxwell, Apollon Musagète and Alban Berg String quartets, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Staatskapelle Dresden, Komische Oper Berlin, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Liverpool Philharmonic, Orchestra Guiseppe Verdi Milano, the Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Copenhagen (DR) Philharmonic, Russian National Orchestra, Soloists of the Orchestre de Paris, and l’Orchestre National d’ile de France.
His most important collaboration has nevertheless been with violinist Gidon Kremer, with whom he has recorded four CDs and played nearly a hundred concerts worldwide. His main partners today are the members of the Glorvigen Trio, violinist Daniela Braun and the double bassist Arnulf Ballhorn.
Per Arne has also worked as an entertainer and comedian, specialising in language sketches. After studies with Eric Tanguy (composition) and Guillaume Connesson (orchestration) in Paris, Glorvigen finds himself more and more dedicated to composition, and his works have been performed in most European countries. His first CD with fully original compositions was 2019’s Paris, Buenos Aires, Chicago and included cellist Andreas Brantelid and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. The same orchestra is also behind the subsequent double concerto for viola and bandoneon for Eivind Ringstad.
Earlier recordings can be found on Simax, Auvidis, Nonesuch, Sony Classical, Teldec, EMI Classics and Deutsche Grammophon.
