Oslo Philharmonic live in Oslo

Experience Oslo Philharmonic live on August 26th

Oslo Philharmonic is recognized internationally for its distinctive Scandinavian sound, often characterized by rich string textures and a direct, emotionally resonant performance style. The orchestra has a long tradition of championing both Norwegian composers, like Edvard Grieg and Jean Sibelius, and core classical and romantic repertoire. Increasingly, it also performs contemporary works and engages in cross-genre collaborations.

The concert on August 26, 2026, will take place at Oslo Konserthus. Completed in 1919, the Konserthus is Oslo’s primary concert hall and a landmark building designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg. Its acoustics are highly regarded, specifically tailored for orchestral music. The building underwent significant renovations between 2009 and 2014 to further enhance these acoustic properties and modernize facilities while preserving its original architectural character.

Oslo Konserthus serves as the permanent home of the Oslo Philharmonic and hosts a wide range of musical events throughout the year, including symphony concerts, chamber music performances, and other cultural presentations. It's situated centrally in Oslo, contributing to the city’s vibrant cultural landscape. The hall's main auditorium seats approximately 1,800 people.
