Kjell Mørk Karlsen
Kjell Mørk Karlsen grew up in a family of musicians, receiving organ lessons from his father from the age of fourteen. He continued his education at Oslo Music Conservatory, from where he graduated in 1968. He pursued further organ studies with Finn Viderø in Copenhagen. Mørk Karlsen has served as organist and cathedral organist in many churches of Norway and also in Finland during his studies with composer Joonas Kokkonen.
Mørk Karlsen’s multifarious experience as practising musician has proved valuable for his work as a composer. His many years as a church musician and organist have influenced his work as composer. A number of Mørk Karlsen’s works have been commissioned by Norwegian and international cultural institutions. He has been awarded several prizes and has won a number of composition contests. In addition to his work as church musician and composer, he has held many positions in various Norwegian cultural, church, and professional associations.
