Founded in early 2010, Ensemble Aksiom comprises nine members from the contemporary music community at the Norwegian Academy of Music.
The ensemble’s version of Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is part of a project called Radbrekk , where classics are presented in new forms, similar to what Lutosławski did in his Variations over a theme by Paganini, while Irrganger is a new piece written by student composer Martin Rane Bauck.
