Since 2011 Frode Haltli holds a position at the Norwegian Academy of Music, teaching selected accordion students at master’s level. The Norwegian Academy of Music offers music education of the highest level and holds a central position in Norwegian music.

After the release of ‘Arne Nordheim Complete Accordion Music‘ in November 2012 I have contributed on some other albums, most recently Ingebjørg Loe Bjørnstad’s debut ‘Hæm‘.

I summon up 2012 and give you the new promo video for my Arne Nordheim album which is soon released in the US!

The performance of Arne Nordheim’s ‘Spur’ with Frode Haltli and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra from November 10th 2012 is available on NRK2 web TV (see 16 minutes into the program!). The concert marked the release of the new album ‘Arne Nordheim Complete Accordion Works’.

There will be two release concerts of my album ‘Arne Nordheim Complete Accordion Works’ where I perform ‘Spur’ with orchestra: In Oslo (Nov 10) and Huddersfield, UK (Nov 24)

My new album with all the music for accordion by Arne Nordheim (1931-2010) will be released on Simax Classics in November. Live performances of the concerto ‘Spur’ in Oslo (Nov 10) and Huddersfield, UK (Nov 24) will mark the release of this important recording in my discography.

Bent Sørensen recently made some important changes in his piece “It is Pain Flowing Down Slowly on a White Wall” for solo accordion and strings. I will premiere the new version with the Trondheim Soloists in the Nidaros Cathedral during Trondheim Chamber Music Festival.

More live shows are posted in the concert section. The highlights this autumn are several performances of the Nordheim and Sørensen concertos in Norway and the UK.

I will spend my last week of June this year at the Båstad Chamber Music Festival in Sweden. For the third time in 2012 I will meet up with the fabulous viola player Garth Knox, as well as performing other solo and chamber music.
