She will hear French horn students play and give feedback. The session is free and the public is invited to attend.

Earlier this month, Wekre was appointed Knight of the 1st class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. The order is awarded as a "reward for excellent services to Norway and humanity." The professor received the award "for her contribution to Norwegian musical life," noted the Royal Palace on its website.

Wekre has had a distinguished career as one of the world’s top horn players, a professor, and a celebrated cultural personality. Her unique tone and excellent communication skills have captivated audiences and composers worldwide, leading to numerous compositions created specifically for her.
