Cultural activities are one of society’s most important cornerstones. At the moment it is hard to see how and when to create new activities, but we keep on planning hoping for better times. As soon as it is advisable to meet for enjoying new cultural activities, we hope you’ll be there to create the opportunities with us.

We think it is sensible to keep the activities on a low level this spring, but hope to welcome you to the Spring Sonata in Stokke Church on May 9.

Midtåsen Culture Festival is planned to take place in the period July 13 till 25. There will be a premiere of a new piece for String Sextet by the Norwegian composer Peder Barratt-Due; all of Beethoven’s 32 Piano Sonatas will be performed in 8 concerts by Tor Espen Aspaas; and the line up of singers and musicians are absolutely super!

At Midtåsen Children Festival you may have a nice reunion with Ludvig and Ludwig – lovers of nature! and enjoy Mozart’s fabulous Magic Flute in a lovely new production!

In the autumn we continue celebrating Beethoven’s 250th anniversary – and it’s a must to include the fantastic Grosse Fuge in one of the Moonlight Sonata Concerts. At the end of the year we hope to focus on JOY! by performing Ode to Joy! – and we must admit that we during these challenging times often think about the fact that the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra wish to visit the festival with the Fate Symphony…..

We hope to see you very soon!
