Experience Eva Bjerga Haugen live on December 9th

Eva Bjerga Haugen will perform a concert at Nykirken in Bergen on December 9th, 2026. Haugen is a Norwegian vocalist and composer known for her work within the genres of jazz and improvised music, often incorporating elements of traditional Norwegian folk music and contemporary soundscapes. Her compositions frequently feature extended vocal techniques and explore themes of nature and Nordic mythology. She has released several albums to critical acclaim and regularly collaborates with musicians across various disciplines.

Nykirken, also known as the New Church, is Bergen’s largest church, consecrated in 1763. Built after the old St. Mary's Church burned down in 1751, it represents a significant example of Rococo architecture in Norway. The church served as the parish church for much of Bergen’s city center for over two centuries before becoming a museum church in 2018. While retaining its religious significance through occasional services, Nykirken now primarily functions as a cultural venue hosting concerts and exhibitions. Its acoustics are highly regarded, making it a popular choice for performances involving vocal and instrumental ensembles.
