Kitchen Orchestra

For many years Stavanger, Norway has produced some of Norway’s most profiled improvisational musicians. 24 of these professional players, ranging from local jazz musicians to the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, have come together under the name Kitchen Orchestra as a musical collective exploring the improvisational relationship between the individual and the ensemble in the context of modern and jazz music. Projects vary in size depending on the composer/ band-leader’s desires from solo pieces to full orchestra.

Past collaborators include Alexander von Schlippenbach, Øyvind Torvund, Inbal Pinto, Evan Parker, Keith Tippet, Trevor Wishart, Reidar Larsen, Svein Tang Wa, Steve Beresford, Dave Kane, Per Zanussi and Lotte Anker. Their wide range of musical ventures and collaborations which can be explored on their website www.kitchenorchestra.com. 2013 offers the release of their collaboration with Alexander von Schlippenbach, a commissioned work with Australian composer Anthony Pateras, a continuation of Kitchen Barokk, and the annual festival What’s Cooking.
