Midway through the concert series, the audience is invited into the musical world of Edvard Grieg, where Nordic tones and strong emotions take center stage. As the opening concert of the Art and Music Festival 2026, four outstanding soloists create a performance that combines technical brilliance with intimate expression.

The music moves between grandeur and delicacy, offering a rich and varied listening experience. Through the interplay of voice, violin and piano, a vibrant and nuanced soundscape unfolds. Deputy Mayor Henrik Halleland will be present to mark the official opening of the festival.

The concert is presented in collaboration with the Stavanger Art and Music Festival and is supported by Stavanger Municipality, Rogaland County Municipality, the Polish Embassy in Oslo, and LOT.
