Starting on October 14, the Composition Forum will be arranged once a month with intersecting themes between modern music, other art forms and political issues. Famous artists will be invited across disciplines, nerd level, taste, smell, intelligence, and genres. In other words: “Composition” will be understood in its most radically open meaning.

Simon Løffler is one of Europe's most important and uncompromising composers, where instrument construction is a central factor. He will be an associate professor of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music from the fall of 2025.

Bojana Cvejić is a professor of History and Theory of Dance at KHiO, a dramaturg and researcher, and her writing combines aspects of performance and critical theory. She has a background in studies in opera and experimental musical theatre, is a political activist in Serbia and has participated in a number of collectivist artistic projects. She has published a number of books and articles, including "Toward a Transindividual Self: A Study in Social Dramaturgy" with Ana Vujanović (2022).

Percussionist Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen also participates as a performer.

The forums are free and open to all and run and curated by Trond Reinholdtsen, Guoste Tamulynaite and Fredrik Blichfelt.
