Biography
After a relatively late start, Froydis Wee
Wekre (b. 1941) made swift progress on the horn.
After two years of study with Wilhelm
Lansky-Otto and Vitali
Bujanovsky, she was invited to join the
Norwegian Opera Orchestra. In 1961, she joined the
Oslo Philharmonic, and became co-principal in
1965. In 1991, she retired from the orchestra to
be professor of horn and wind chamber music at the
Norwegian State Academy of Music, where she
already had a part-time position.
Renowned as a teacher and performer, Wekre has
given masterclasses and workshops throughout
Europe and North America. She is the author of On
Playing the Horn Well.
