| Introduction | Stavanger Symphony Orchestra was established in 1938 and has gained an international reputation for its quality and interesting profile in addition to its creative programming. The combination of a commitment to early and contemporary music, together with unusual cross-over projects and an extensive programme of CD-recordings of Norwegian 20th century music, has contributed to the orchestra's development and reputation. The orchestra played an important role as Stavanger held its position as European Capital of Culture in 2008. In two years it will move into a brand new concert hall in Stavanger, specially designed for acoustic, symphonic music. The SSO appointed the American conductor Steven Sloane as Chief Conductor to lead the orchestra through these events and to further develop the orchestra's artistic standard and international reputation. Simultaneously, the Italian violinist and conductor Fabio Biondi will be responsible for the orchestras specializing in early music interpretation. |
