Masterclass with Stephan Barratt-Due
Join the process
In this master class, the audience will have the opportunity to follow the work between an experienced musician and some of the country's most promising young performers. The interaction between teacher and student is open to the public, and you can follow how musical choices are discussed, tried out, and transformed in real time.
Stephan Barratt-Due is one of Norway's most prominent violinists and educators. He made his debut in 1981 and has since had an active career as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra leader, touring in Europe, the US, South America, and Asia. Since 1985, he has been rector and artistic director of the Barratt Due Music Institute, a role in which he has had a major impact on the development of Norwegian talent; several of today's leading Norwegian violinists have been his students.
Barratt-Due has also held key artistic positions, including artistic director of the Oslo Camerata since 1998 and the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra from 1990 to 1996. He has been awarded both the Oslo City Culture Prize and the Norwegian Culture Council's Honorary Prize, as well as the Order of St. Olav for his work in Norwegian music.
This master class provides a direct insight into his working methods and the process behind the interpretations and technical choices of young musicians.
