Violinist and conductor, Trond Saeverud, has been a frequent soloist with orchestras in Norway and Denmark, has produced CD's with orchestras in both countries, and regularly premieres and records new works dedicated to him. Concert tours in Japan, the United States and Europe have been combined with positions as concertmaster of several Scandinavian orchestras.
Saeverud had a very successful London debut in 1992 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His New York debut was as soloist with the Orchestra of St. Luke's at the Lincoln Center. The New York Times described his playing as "a warm-toned affectionate account."
Saeverud has produced nine CD's. His last release, HIKA, was chosen as "Strad Selection" in the May 2002 issue of The Strad , which wrote: "... a gem of a disc...outmost fragility...shimmeringly beautiful...makes every phrase speak."
Currently, Saeverud and his artist wife, Joan, live in Robbinston, where she exhibits in her own art gallery and he is the artistic director of an international music camp and festival. This summer, students came from Japan, Ireland, Norway, Canada and the United States.
Saeverud is also active as a conductor. This summer, he spent two weeks conducting and instructing at music camps in Colorado, and next year he plans to bring a Norwegian student symphony orchestra on tour in the United States (including Maine). |
