About
OSLO KAMMERAKADEMI unites some of the most exciting principle wind players in Norway and specialises in chamber music for winds with particular emphasis on the historic harmoniemusik ensemble. Using historical brass instruments for the classical repertoire lends both authenticity and transparency to the ensemble's sound and gives unique musical insight.
OKA’s mission is to both enhance tradition and innovate. Through historically informed interpretations of classical repertoire as well as working with living composers to establish new commissioned works, OKA maintains a clear artistic profile of the highest level. The ensemble provides a unique forum for aesthetic experience which both entertains and gives a deeper understanding of both known and perhaps unfamiliar repertoire. In Norway and on the broader Scandinavian stage, the ensemble satisfies a demand for first-rate chamber music.
The ensemble breaks new ground by leaving the traditional niche of chamber music for winds by combining fresh interpretation with closeness to the audience. OKA performs several concert productions each year, both in Norway and abroad, and has several CDs already to its credit, featuring music both historically significant and newly-composed.
