Witness one of the nations greatest festivals.
We present artists of the highest international calibre. Our program has everything from intimate chamber music concertos to large-scale orchestra performances and genre-breaking events.
Johan Halvorsen
Johan Halvorsen has made world-famous music such as Air norvegien and Passacaglia. His music has been played at the world’s largest stages by the finest musicians. Born and raised in Drammen, he is considered to be of the greatest of the golden age of Norwegian romanticism. He was also a spectacular violinist and conductor. Our festival was created in 2005 in his spirit, to honour one of the finest people this city has produced.
