Giovanni Antonini live in Oslo

Experience Giovanni Antonini live on January 20th

Giovanni Antonini will perform at Konserthus, Oslo on January 20, 2027. Antonini is an Italian harpsichordist and conductor renowned for his historically informed performance practice, particularly within Baroque and Classical repertoire. His interpretations emphasize clarity of articulation, rhythmic vitality, and a deep engagement with the original sources of the music he conducts. He frequently leads ensembles such as Il Giardino Armonico (which he co-founded) and Kammerakademiet Basel, focusing on composers like Vivaldi, Handel, and Bach.

Konserthus Oslo opened in 1919, designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg. It serves as the primary concert hall for the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and hosts a wide range of musical events throughout the year. The building underwent significant renovation and expansion between 2009 and 2014, enhancing its acoustics and facilities while preserving its original Art Deco aesthetic. Its main hall is known for its warm sound and intimate atmosphere despite its considerable size – seating approximately 1,965 people. The venue plays a central role in Norway’s musical landscape, attracting both national and international artists and audiences.
