Experience Richard Egarr live on March 18th

Richard Egarr, a highly regarded harpsichordist, organist, and conductor, will perform at Konserthus Oslo on March 18, 2027. Egarr is known for his historically informed performance practice, specializing in Baroque and Classical repertoire. His interpretations are characterized by a vibrant energy, rhythmic precision, and a deep understanding of ornamentation prevalent in the music of composers like Handel, Scarlatti, and Bach – often performing these works both as a soloist and leading ensembles from the keyboard. He frequently champions lesser-known works alongside established masterpieces.

Konserthus Oslo opened in 1919 and serves as the primary concert hall for the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Designed by architect Arnstein Arneberg, it’s recognized for its excellent acoustics and Art Deco interior. The building underwent significant renovations completed in 2023 which modernized facilities while preserving its original architectural features. Throughout its history, Konserthus Oslo has hosted a wide range of international artists and ensembles across various genres, but maintains a strong focus on classical music. It is considered a landmark cultural institution within Norway and plays a central role in the nation’s musical life.
