The incredible Frøydis Ree Wekre is back at Voksenåsen Summer Academy! We are very excited to have a horn class this year and are already looking forward to fun and creative ensemble performances!

Outside of her native Oslo, Norway, her studies have taken place in Sweden, Russia, and USA. Just after one year playing in the Norwegian Opera Orchestra, she joined the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra 1961 and played as co-principal until 1991. As a teacher, Ms. Wekre was profesor of Horn and Chamber Music at the Norwegian Academy of Music until 2011. Nowadays she is travelling the world and giving master classes and lectures worldwide.
She is an Honorary Member of the International Horn Society, where she also was the president for a period. In 2023 the Norwegian King Harald appointed her to become “Ridder av St. Olavs Orden, 1. klasse.”
