De Unges Konsert – Young Soloists Competition

~ Kungl. Musikhögskolans Studentkår ~ 2 kommentarer

De Unges Konsert Young Soloists Competition 2019 is now open for applications. We invite young musicians to audition in Bergen.

Since 1938, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra has showcased young talent. This competition has been an important step in the careers of many top musicians such as Henning Kraggerud, Håvard Gimse, Tine Thing Helseth, Truls Mørk, Vilde Frang and Lise Davidsen.

Concert and prizes

A total of five soloists will be selected from the audition round to play as soloists with Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra at De Unges Konsert in Grieghallen on Thursday 25 April 2019. The conductor is Cathrine Winnes. The concert will be live-streamed at BergenPhilLive.no.

We cover all travel and accommodation expenses for soloists. All of the soloists receive a scholarship of NOK 75,000 from the Kavli Trust. The audience will vote for their favourite who will receive the Kavli Trust audience prize of NOK 20,000.
