Pianist gives up his festival

Pianist gives up his festival

Message from the Norwegian artist Leif Ove Andsnes:

“It is with mixed emotions that I share with you that this year’s festival will be my last” says founder and artistic director Leif Ove Andsnes. “I look back with immense gratitude on a wonderful 10-year period, in which we have explored a wealth of repertoire and musical ideas in Rosendal.” ­
­ ­ ­
­”It seems fitting that for our final festival, we take inspiration from the surrounding region of Hardanger, and celebrate three composers who have all had a close connection with this incredible landscape and its community.”

The composers are Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), Geirr Tveitt (1908-81) and Knut Vaage (1961-).
