Biography


Thoresen was born in Oslo in 1949 and studied with Finn Mortensen at the Norwegian Academy of Music, graduating in 1972. He studied electroacoustic music in Utrecht, and musique concrète and spectral music in Paris. He has been professor of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music since 1988.[1] Thoresen has received many commissions for works which have been performed across Scandinavia, including commissions from all the major Norwegian Philharmonic Orchestras and the French National Radio.[2]

An important source of inspiration for Thoresen has been the Baháʼí religion whose texts he has set in many works.[2] His oratorio Terraces of Light (2000) was performed at the inauguration of the 19 terraces of the Baháʼí holy place on Mount Carmel, by forces from Canada, Austria, Israel and Transylvania.

Thoresen was winner of the 2010 Nordic Council Music Prize[3] for his work Opus 42, which consists of four pieces written for the vocal group Nordic Voices.[4]
