Griegakademiet (UiB)
Opening Concert 2026/1: Jazz and Folk Music
21:00

A student ensemble on stage with violin, saxophone, voice, double bass, trumpet, drums and guitar, in front of an audience.

The Grieg Academy opens its academic year with a project week in which new and returning students are thrown together in different ensemble constellations and present the results towards the end of the week. As in recent years the opening is split across two concerts, one for classical music and composition and one for jazz and folk music. This evening belongs to jazz and folk.

Folk music students from Ole Bull Akademiet in Voss open the night with swinging traditional music on fiddles, voice and accordion. The rest of the evening is given over to the Grieg Academy’s jazz students, arranged into bands put together for the occasion, where newcomers and more advanced students can end up playing side by side.

Promoter: Griegakademiet (UiB) in collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall
