Concerts with high musical standards in a low key setting .
The students at the Grieg Academy invite you to enjoy great musical experiences during daytime . The drop in concerts have for many years been a popular tradition on the Bergen International Festival programme , and every year the sales department is asked for the programme booklet long before it is finalised . In the Grieghallen foyer and in Johanneskirken ( St . John ' s Church ) everyone has the opportunity to listen to talented young students , often performing with their teachers .
‘ The Festival seeks to give young musicians who have chosen music as a profession a vital and visible platform where they can perform early in their careers . We want to inspire and nurture the foremost talent ,’ says Bergen International Festival director Anders Beyer .
This year the theme of each concert will be more pronounced than in recent years . In sum the series will present works from a broad musical spectrum in the relaxed atmosphere to which audiences have become accustomed .
Programme details for all concerts will be available at fib . no / stikkinnom in May , alongside times for other concerts in Gunnar Sævigs sal .
In collaboration with the Grieg Academy – Department of Music , University of Bergen . t

Would you like to join Henrik Ibsen behind the scenes at the DNS theatre ?
During the Bergen International Festival the world-renowned playwright returns to his former workplace . Ibsen at Engen is an exclusive wandering performance that provides a unique insight into the theatre ’ s history , and takes you to parts of the theatre that audiences otherwise never get to see . There is only room for 15 persons on the tour of the nooks and crannies of the listed building . The lucky tour participants will experience the buckride from Peer Gynt and other stunts , and be served finger food and two ( non-alcoholic ) drinks .
Den National Scene , the oldest permanent stage in Norway , has roots back to Det Norske Teater , founded by Ole Bull in 1850 . In 1909 the theatre moved into its current building , which with its rich ornamentation is considered a prime example of Art Nouveau . In 1850 Henrik Ibsen at the age of 21 was engaged by the theatre as a dramatic author , and he did some directing until 1857 .
