Winter steps down from Manger
Martin Winter has recently stepped down from his role as conductor of Manger Musikklag. Martin's association with the Norwegian band began in 2001 when he first took them to the Siddis Entertainment contest. He later led Manger to memorable victories at the event in 2008, 2010, 2018 and 2021 with programmes full of inventive musical thinking. He also led them to success at the Grenland International Brass Band Festival and the one-off International Brass Band Contest in Belgium.
A spokesperson stated, "We are eternally grateful for the work Martin Winter has done; he has been crucial to the fact that Manger Musikklag is still a top band both nationally and internationally. We wish Martin to close with all projects in the future, and of course hope that we will see him again on some occasion in Manger Musikklag. We are now looking for someone who is dedicated, innovative, and who sets the bar high for both themselves and for the ensemble. The person who takes over as resident conductor/band trainer must be able to develop the fundamental skillsets of the band, to promote the innovative profile that MML has, and be proactive in driving the band forward."
The band is inviting applications for the conducting role from Autumn 2024. Further details can be found at: https://www.mangermusikklag.com/single-post/manger-musikklag-s%C3%B8kjer-ny-fast-dirigent-fr%C3%A5-hausten-2024
