Biography

Marius Ulfrstad was a student of Maurice Ravel and Ottorino Respighi. He re-established and led the Musikk-Akademiet in Oslo in 1922, founded the Unge Tonekunstneres Samfund (Young Music Artist Society) in 1922, and was a co-founder of the Norwegian Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music. Ulfrstad made his début as a composer in 1919. His opus includes two concerts, five symphonies, works for choirs (including Arnljot Gelline [1932]), music for theatre (Munken Vendt [1939]), and several songs which were noted for their richness of melody. In 1936, Ulfrstad was granted an artist’s stipend from the Norwegian government.
