Arne Nordheim 20.6.1931 – 5.6.2010
The classical Norwegian music scene mourns the death of Norway’s
foremost contemporary composer, Arne Nordheim, on Saturday June 5th.
He was born on June 20th 1931, and was one of the most conspicuous
figures in the musical landscape of Norway for more than fifty years.
He was recognized as a very successful pathfinder, and received a
large number of prestigious international prizes and honors, and was
the tenant of the honorary residence offered by the Norwegian State to
the nation’s most outstanding creative artist. In 1997 he was elected
honorary member of the International Society for Contemporary Music.
In addition to his achievements as an artist, he was an engaged person
devoting his time to many different sides of the Norwegian cultural
scene, as a national character, writer, board member, advisor,
chairman, and not least, a friend.
