the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra.
In order to make it as a soloist on the international scene you need brilliant technical
skill, virtuoso performance and ‘that little
extra’. Eivind Holtsmark Ringstad (viola), Guro
Kleven Hagen (violin) and Kian Soltani (cello)
will demonstrate why they have been selected
for Crescendo – a new talent development
programme at world class level.

at the cusp of international careers the opportunity to participate in unique encounters with
mentors – established international soloists –

personal contact. In 2016 these three young

Janine Jansen from the Netherlands is one of
the most famous violinists in the world. The
breadth of her repertoire is second to none,
and she is highly acclaimed as both a soloist
and chamber musician.
Throughout the history of music the tradition
of master and apprentice has been a cornerstone. The Crescendo programme provides
gifted musicians at the outset of their careers
opportunities of unique encounters with mentors – international soloists – through ensemble
performance, coaching and personal contact.
For her, making music involves listening and
communicating with others. She is particularly forn of chamber music. ‘This is where
the deepest emotions are aroused. Musical
communication in chamber music format has
been important for me ever since childhood,’
she has explained. She has her own chamber
music festival in Utrecht in the Netherlands.
