About
In a world where unrest and war make constant headlines, human migration is an issue that touches peoples everywhere. On its latest release, The Silk Road, the Oslo-based wind chamber ensemble Oslo Kammerakademi presents a beautiful programme inspired by the subject of cultural migration – what happens when cultures meet, for example because of the movement of populations, trade, politics or conflict.
Critic reviews
“Per usual, the Oslo Chamber Academy gives top-notch performances with vibrant timbres, elegant technique, nicely shaped solo lines, and exquisite balance and blend.”
