Pianist Cordula Hacke (professor II at UiA) will be the artistic director for the Chamber Music concerts at Kilden. These will involve students, KSO musicians and musicians from other organisations in Kristiansand. Amateurs are also welcome.
Furthermore, conductor and composer Rolf Gupta (professor II at UiA), Terje Mathisen (pianist and associate professor at UiA) and Anne Camilla Furre Thommesen (Prosjektleder | Orkesterkoordinator) are part of the creative team.
