Karl Bjorå live in Kongsberg

Experience Karl Bjorå live on July 4th

Karl Bjorå is scheduled to perform at Energimølla in Kongsberg, Norway on July 4th, 2026. Bjorå’s musical style blends traditional Norwegian folk music with contemporary jazz and improvisation. He is known for his mastery of the Hardanger fiddle, a traditional Norwegian stringed instrument, and frequently incorporates elements of soundscapes and experimental music into his compositions. His work often explores themes related to Norwegian nature and cultural heritage.

Energimølla is a former hydroelectric power station located along the Numedalslågen river in Kongsberg. Originally constructed in 1918 to provide power for the Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk (Kongsberg Weapons Factory), it ceased operation in 1982. Subsequently, the building underwent renovation and was repurposed as a cultural venue.

Today, Energimølla hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, exhibitions, and conferences. Its industrial architecture provides a unique atmosphere for performances, and it has become a significant cultural hub within the Kongsberg region. The space retains many original features from its time as a power station, offering an interesting juxtaposition with contemporary artistic expression.
