About Jorunn Marie Bratlie

She holds a Diplom from the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover and made her debut as a concert pianist at the age of fifteen. Over more than four decades she has built a versatile career as soloist, chamber musician and accompanist, appearing as soloist with all of Norway's major orchestras and giving concerts across Norway, the United States, China and large parts of Europe.
