Biography
Marcussen made his debut as both a composer and guitarist at the Cardiff Festival of Music in 1982, where he was invited as a result of a competition. The guitar naturally has a central place in Marcussen’s compositional landscape, both as a solo instrument and as a participant in chamber musical contexts. His music has been presented at a number of international festivals and has been used on both TV and radio, as well as on many CD recordings.

"Kjell
Marcussen's compositions are not only some of the most
enjoyable we've ever played, but they are very accessible to
general audiences. We love playing his music, and the people
we play it for love it as well.
