T IC KET Noah Bendix-Balgley is a new mentor in the
Crescendo programme, which brings together
younger and more experienced musicians in
concert and in personal musical encounters
throughout the year. The young talented artists
that Bendix-Balgley has taken under his wing
have already accumulated plenty of routine and
recognition in the course of their careers, and
all have performed at the Bergen International
Festival before.
