Espen Galtung Døsvig/EGD became Festival
Ambassador in 2017. Like the Festival, EGD
is a company with longstanding traditions
in Bergen. Since its foundation in 1907, the
company has ensured its growth by adjusting
its strategy in accordance with the changes in
the markets and society in general. For many years, Yvonne and Bjarne Rieber/
Rika AS have invested significant amounts in
the Bergen International Festival, which is and
should continue to be an important cultural
event and a boost for the cultural scene in
Bergen, Norway and abroad. Their support is
crucial to the festival’s ambitious projects that
connect tradition and renewal, that challenge
and entertain the audience and make culture
accessible to a broader public.
As Festival Ambassador Espen Galtung Døsvig
wants to contribute to carrying the Festival into
the future. He is also engaged in developing
Bergen as a city of art and culture – through
contemporary art of the highest quality, among
other things – and the Festival’s position in this
project.
The Festival is grateful for the support from
Espen Galtung Døsvig/EGD.
