ÅRHUS SINFONIETTA (DK) was founded in 1990 by members of the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and the Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen. Since their establishment, the ensemble has marked itself out as one of Denmark’s leading ensembles for contemporary music, but with a repertoire that extends beyond contemporary music alone. One of the top priorities of the ensemble is to interpret original music from all times and places in an original and artistic manner. ØSTEN MIKAL ORE (DK, 1967) originally earned his degree in guitar from the Academy of Music in Oslo and in Odense. He later studied composition at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus with Bent Sørensen and Karl Aage Rasmussen as his teachers. His music has been performed at various festivals including Discover Denmark, NUMUS, Suså, Festival Archipel and Purcell Room. At SPOR he works closely with the students at SPOR New Music School. Participating students from The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, and Malmö Academy of Music: METTE NIELSEN (DK, 1985) began her studies in composition in 2007, and she will be graduating this summer from the soloist class at The Royal Academy of Music, playing her debut concert. Right now, in her work she is inspired by childhood memories, using songs, toys and others objects from her long gone childhood. LASSE DAN HANSEN (DK, 1991) has studied a BA in composition at The Royal Academy of Music and from autumn 2017 on he will be studying at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. As a composer, he insists on

creating musical experiences, which cannot easily be explained or perceived, often placing the audience in the middle of music, that pursues the fantastic. KLAVS KEHLET HANSEN (DK, 1993) is a thirdyear BA-student in composition at The Royal Academy of Music. As a composer, he is very interested in the fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. LASSE WINTERBOTTOM (DK, 1989) is a secondyear student of composition at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. “In my imagi­ nation, music is a ship that can take me on ex­ plorative journeys. Composition is the attempt to find my way back home, so I can tell everyone about my explorations and experiences”, Lasse says. DANIEL MÖLLÅS (SE, 1993) is a second-year BA-student in composition at Malmö Academy of Music, where he composes music of several different characters; traditional as well as graphic notation, electroacoustic music etc. One of the most important issues for Daniel is to create material by simple methods and to form music by mixing control with chance.
