The Norwegian classical music festival, which takes place on the spectacular Lofoten Islands, celebrates classical masterworks in 25 concerts.
The ambitious programme presents the beauty, the virtuosity, the frivolity, and the complexity that are to be found in the world of classical music. The festival’s line-up of musicians will perform concerts in churches, concerts halls, restaurants and art galleries, spread out in Lofoten.
The fascinating scenery of Lofoten becomes a natural part of the festival experience.
