Andreas Hanson – Conductor

Under the direction of conductor Andreas Hanson, we warmly welcome you to the performance of Marcus Paus’ monumental musical work about the War Cross – the highest honor awarded by the Norwegian Armed Forces. This piece was commissioned by the Norwegian Armed Forces and premiered at Harstad Kulturhus on May 10, 2023, performed by the Norwegian Armed Forces Band – Northern Norway.

The War Cross is a full-length work that portrays the events which have formed the basis for the decoration throughout history. Through the music, we experience an emotional journey reflecting the values and actions of those who have been awarded this distinguished medal. The work consists of 30 movements, composed for various settings within the band – from solo pieces to full ensemble sections where the entire band shines.

With The War Cross, Marcus Paus has made a truly unique and extensive contribution to Norwegian music history. The piece is remarkable both in form and scope, and it holds significance as an original Norwegian composition for wind ensemble.

Be among the first to hear this new Norwegian masterpiece performed in Sweden.
