What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Reaching its 38th edition in 2026 gives Oslo Kammermusikkfestival a depth of institutional history unusual among Norwegian classical music festivals, built up year by year since its late-1980s founding into one of the countrys established chamber music events

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival organizes programming partly around an annual composer focus, spotlighting a specific figure, Felix Mendelssohn in 2026, through dedicated concerts and background material that let audiences engage with one composers work in depth rather than in isolated pieces

03

The city starts moving

A newly introduced artistic advisory board, joined by prominent Norwegian violinist Eldbjorg Hemsing from autumn 2025, signals active efforts to refresh the festivals direction while keeping its continuity, and the festival runs outreach content aimed at younger, less experienced classical listeners
