Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra
Welcome to the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra's YouTube channel.
Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra (KSO), numbering 71 musicians from 17 different nations, is one of Norway’s seven full-time professional symphony orchestras. Chief conductor Nathalie Stutzmann began her tenure in autumn 2018, with her predecessors including Giordano Bellincampi, Rolf Gupta and Terje Boye Hansen. Since 2018, Julian Rachlin has served as principal guest conductor, and was joined by Tabita Berglund in 2021. Rachlin will step up to become Chief Conductor in the summer of 2023.
KSO has existed in its current form since 2003, when the Kristiansand Chamber Orchestra joined forces with Southern Norway’s professional military band. Within its 42-week season, KSO performs approximately 20 symphonic subscription concerts, as well as family concerts, educational programmes, chamber music series, and a variety of recording projects.
In 2012, the orchestra moved into its new home, Kilden Performing Arts Centre.
