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-).
