Marcus Paus is one of Norway's most prominent and versatile contemporary composers. Born in 1979 in Oslo, Paus has gained international recognition for his richly melodic and emotionally expressive music, often described as a bridge between tradition and innovation. His works span a wide range of genres, including orchestral, choral, chamber, and vocal music, as well as film scores and opera.
Paus' music is deeply rooted in the classical tradition, yet his compositions embrace a modern sensibility that makes them accessible and relevant to today's audiences. Among his best-known works are Hate Songs for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra, The Beauty That Still Remains (based on the words of Anne Frank), and his critically acclaimed String Quartet No. 3.
A frequent collaborator with celebrated musicians and ensembles, Paus' work often reflects a deep engagement with literature, philosophy, and cultural history. His distinctive voice has been celebrated for its lyricism, technical mastery, and ability to connect profoundly with listeners. Whether writing for the concert hall, the theater, or the silver screen, Marcus Paus continues to captivate audiences worldwide with music that speaks to the heart and mind alike.
His album "Ingenting forsvinner" (Nothing Vanishes) - a hommage to his late father Ole Paus - will be released on March 21, 2025.
