Drop-in Concerts

The 50th anniversary celebration of the Drop-in concert series kicks off with musical and verbal greetings from near and far, highlights from this year’s programme – and surprises, an open café and an exhibition. The host is former Grieg Academy student, pianist and comedian Sjur Hjeltnes.

50 years on the day after the very first Drop-in concert, this programme will highlight the concert series’ history. Works, genres and performers who in different ways represent the Drop-in series’ history take the stage: Alumni who have become teachers and/or made their mark as performers, with a wide range of musical expressions – from classical, early music and folk singing to new compositions.

The 50th anniversary weekend is completed by this marathon program of five hours (with intermissions) with all aspects of the Grieg Academy’s activities and study programmes: Classical music, jazz, folk music, composition, young talents, music therapy, musicology and exciting new research projects. The café is open, and there will be an exhibition. Come and go as you please – welcome.
