Torun Eriksen

This year, Torun Eriksen celebrates 20 years as a recording artist, having released seven critically acclaimed solo albums. In addition to being a musician, she is also a composer and lyricist, collaborating and composing for big bands, choirs, and chamber orchestras. Originally from our region, we are thrilled that she chose to return and settle in Kristiansand. Her presence is invaluable—not only to the students at the University of Agder, who are fortunate to have her as a teacher, but also to the local audience, who get to enjoy her performances, and to the regional jazz community, which is both inspired by and collaborates with her.
