About Knut Erik Jensen

Knut Erik Jensen was born near Trondheim in 1981 and began pursuing
his musical studies at age 7 when he took up the accordian. He taught
himslef as a keyboardist and played in several local pop and rock
bands. His interest in classical music was first struck when he heard
Grieg's Concerto in A Minor while attending a music symposium. He
very quickly changed his primary instrument to piano to pursue his new
passion in the classics, but not before winning the Norwegian National
Championship for accordian in 1999.

Knut Erik was accepted to the Music Conservatory in Trondheim and
earned a Bachelor's degree from the Conservatory in 2005. Since then
he has enjoyed a successful and notable career as a soloist playing
recitals, performing chamber music, working with choirs and in the
opera. He recently studied with the famous Norwegian pianist Havard
Gimse. Kunt toured the United States and Canada three times during
2007 playing a series of concerts to commemorate the 100th anniversary
of Grieg's passing.

Join us for a reception to meet Knut Erik following his concert on
March 20, 2009, 8:00 p.m. at Emory University's White Hall.
