Giovanni Antonini live in Oslo

Experience Giovanni Antonini live on January 21st

Giovanni Antonini will perform at Konserthus Oslo on January 21, 2027. Antonini is an Italian harpsichordist and conductor internationally recognized for his historically informed performances of Baroque and Classical music. His approach emphasizes rigorous research into performance practices of the 17th and 18th centuries, resulting in interpretations characterized by clarity, rhythmic vitality, and a focus on ornamentation authentic to the period. He frequently directs ensembles from the harpsichord or organ, and is known for his work with Il Giardino Armonico, which he founded, and now directs Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin.

Konserthus Oslo opened in 1919 and serves as the primary concert hall for the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Designed by architect Henrik Bull, its construction was partially funded through public subscription, reflecting a strong civic commitment to musical culture. The building’s architecture blends Neoclassical and National Romantic styles. Throughout its history, Konserthus Oslo has hosted a wide range of national and international artists across diverse genres, though it maintains a strong reputation for classical music performances.
