Norwegian composer (born 1972)

**Trond Reinholdtsen** (born 7 November 1972) is a [Norwegian](/source/Norway) contemporary composer and vocalist.

Reinholdtsen graduated from the [Norwegian Academy of Music](/source/Norwegian_Academy_of_Music) where he subsequently completed his diploma degree in composition. Reinholdtsen’s first pieces were modernistic, complex works in the German style, of which the best known is perhaps *Psalm (Narrative Studies)* for sinfonietta recorded on the album *Faces* (2000). He has also distinguished himself as a singer in the ensemble Nordic Voices, and is active as a culture critic and commentator.[1]

Since his debut, Reinholdtsen’s music has developed in a performative direction; conventional music passages are fused with performance-based forms of expression including essayistic interpretations, live-camera filming and elements including statistical facts, and face-making. A trademark feature of his performances is the concert-ending “composer’s speech to the audience”; a talk that could be performed live on screen, in recorded format or relayed through instruments such as midi-drums.[2]

In 2005, Reinholdtsen received the [Fartein Valen](/source/Fartein_Valen) Scholarship and in 2011 he was bestowed with the [Arne Nordheim](/source/Arne_Nordheim) Composer’s Prize. His works have been performed internationally at festivals such as the [Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival](/source/Huddersfield_Contemporary_Music_Festival) and Donaueschinger Musiktage.[3]
