Vegar Dunseth Guleng
About
I am employed as a university lecturer at the Department of Music. My areas of expertise include aural training, composition, arranging, traditional harmony and music analysis.
As a composer, I have written works for both professionals and amateurs, nationally and internationally, including commissions from the Arctic Philharmonic, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, HermesEnsemble, and Collegium Musicum. I completed my master’s degree in composition at NTNU in 2018, with Ståle Kleiberg as my supervisor.
