Projects

I am active as a performing artist which besides offering solo recitals also collaborates with different artists.

Here is a little overview of previous and ongoing projects:

Thogeteher with the Norwegian soprano Kari Raff Reinemo, we perform the 60 minutes long work “Chamber Music” by the Norwegian composer Frederik Brattberg. The work fills a program and is working very well in different settings.

2 x Stener Olsen is a cello/guitar duo wich consists of me and my brother Olav Stener Olsen. We offer several programs.

Førisdal/Olsen duo Togheter with my friend and collegue Anders Førisdal I performed a program with music by Haydn/de Fossa, Mertz and Lhoyer for two guitars. The music was played on guitars from 19th century. 

Violin/Guitar duo in collaboration with different violin players I perform different programs. Often including the music of Paganini and Schubert.

Platero y yo is a performance which is based on the text Platero y yo written by Juan Ramon Jimenez and the music by Eduardo Sainz de la Maza and Mario Castelnuovo - Tedesco. Together with narrator Knut Arild Melbøe and dancer Anne Weidner, the three of us forms the Platero ensemble.

Solo as a solo guitarist I offer different programs which spans from renaissance music from Spain and Italy towards the music of today.
