Oslo internasjonale kirkemusikkfestival
13. mar. - 22. mar.
Oslo
Dear all!
Artistic, economic and green sustainability are the focus of Kirkemusikkfestivalen in 2026. We are constantly seeking to develop our artistic aims further and to find new solutions suited to a time of great challenges. The festival brings church music into our own time, with smaller line-ups and fewer travellers.
For this year's opening concert we are proud to be able to present one of the world's foremost choirs, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under the direction of the legendary conductor Tõnu Kaljuste. With them they bring a moving and beautiful programme by Arvo Pärt, one of the most performed contemporary composers of our time. The festival closes with Det Norske Solistkor, this time under the direction of another legendary conductor: Peter Phillips, who is also the founder and conductor of the world-famous The Tallis Scholars. We will hear works by William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Nico Muhly and Arvo Pärt. There is only the pleasure of looking forward to it!
