Norwegian talent.

In 2014 the Bergen International Festival initiated an entirely new project in which Leif Ove
Andsnes collaborated with rising Norwegian
stars. The result was a chamber music concert
in Grieghallen, which received an overwhelming
reception, with superlatives in the press and
standing ovations.

This mentoring project is now being further
developed, and we have the pleasure of presenting a series of concerts with three mentors
and four talented musicians. At the forefront is
Leif Ove Andsnes, and his fellow mentors are
the Swedish cellist Torleif Thedéen and the
Japanese violinist Akiko Suwanai, accompanied
by Håvard Gimse on the piano. The four young
musicians are Eivind Holtsmark Ringstad (viola),
Ragnhild Hemsing (violin), Frida Fredrikke Waaler
Wærvågen (cello) and Ellen Nisbeth (viola). All
have won several national and international
awards and have performed at the Bergen
International Festival.

Leif Ove Andsnes says, 'Debussy's
fabulous violin and cello sonatas are
the features that link the works in this
concert. Two of Debussy's favourite
composers are also represented: Fauré,
with his grandiose first Piano Quartet,
and Mozart, in one of his finest chamber
music pieces, the Piano Trio in E major.'

In 2015 it is 150 years since the great
Finnish composer Jean Sibelius was
born in Tavastehus. Leif Ove Andsnes
explains, 'For this Sibelius anniversary
I have compiled a programme that I
have always dreamt of: piano pieces,
chamber music and not least his melodramas in music and words. More than
anything it makes me feel at home in
the Nordic countries.'
