Nathalie Stutzmann appointed Chief Conductor of Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra in Norway

Today, Nathalie Stutzmann has been announced as new Chief Conductor of the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, one of Norway’s foremost orchestras with roots back to 1919, from the beginning of the 2018/2019 season for an initial contract of three years. Nathalie conducted Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra for the first time in March 2017 in Strauss’ Tod und Verklarung and Schumann’s Symphony No. 3.

Nathalie comments: “I am so thrilled to become the new Chief Conductor of the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra. From the first rehearsal – when we started to play Strauss – I was so amazed by the quality of the musicians. They were so involved in the music and the working process was amazing. I’m also looking forward to developing new ideas with the orchestra, with the musicians, with the board, and to have the KSO more involved in the city life. I truly believe that the symphonic orchestra has an important part to play in the lives of the citizens of the city. It should be so much fun for the people to come to our concerts and discover how much we want to share our passion for this music. I can’t wait to see you all and share the music together.”
