Biographie Lars Lien & Sergej Osadchuk
Lars Lien
pursued his musical education at the Norwegian Academy of Music from 1986 to 1992. Ever since his student years he has devoted special attention to the creative processes generated by the symbiosis between composer and performer. Through this work he has sculpted an entirely new Norwegian performance tradition for the saxophone that has influenced and inspired new performers right up to this day. The quartet Saxofon Concentus has played an especially important role in promoting these new ideas. Lien has performed as chamber musician and soloist in Norway, Europe and the USA, and he has contributed to a number of recordings in diverse genres and musical constellations. Besides Saxofon Concentus, he has distinguished himself in ensembles such as NoXaS, Affinis Ensemble, and Oslo Sinfonietta.
Lars Lien is Associate Professor at the Music Conservatory in Tromsø.
