about

Pictures From a Sinking City was commissioned by the Trondheim Soloists, and had its world premiere in Trondheim on 30 January, 2020.
Tale of Lead and Frozen Light exists in two versions: one for a string quartet, Tale of Lead and Light, written for the Engegård Quartet, and one for a string ensemble, commissioned by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, which had its world premiere at the Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival on 16 September, 2014.

Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje was born in Trondheim in 1973, and earned a degree in composition from the Norwegian Academy of Music in 2000. She had her breakthrough as a composer in 1997. Her works have been performed by a long list of key Norwegian and foreign ensembles and soloists. As an improvisational musician and vocal artist she has participated in countless collaborative projects both in Norway and abroad.
The improvisational ensemble SPUNK was established in 1995, and celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2020 with the same constellation of musicians.

Ratkje has received a wide range of awards, including the Arne Nordheim Composer’s Prize in 2001, the Edvard Prize in 2004 and 2014, the Rolf Gammleng Award for participation in over 100 record releases in 2013 and the Liv Ullman Award in 2020. Her choir work “Sirkling” was named “Work of the Year” at the Music Publishers’ Awards, also in 2020. In 2013, she was nominated for the Nordic Council’s Music Prize for her vocal work. She has been a member of Die Akademie der Künste in Berlin since 2017. Her scores are published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen in Copenhagen.
