Johan Kvandal is one of Norway's most frequently performed composers. The poetic and energetic Nordic music finds audiences from New York, Dubai, Aix-en-Provence and Berlin to Scotland, India and Australia. Kvandal's production consists of 85 opus for virtually all kinds of ensembles from solo instruments to full orchestra and opera. European musical tradition and impulses from Norwegian folk music are synthesized into Kvandal's innovative musical language. His own "modern tonality" has been called sounds from a more beautiful future.
