Experience an enchanting fusion of Nordic talent and Italian warmth at Sentralen as we present an exclusive preview of the second Mediterraneo Chamber Music Festival. Centered around the evocative theme of ‘Bridge’, this evening celebrates the cultural synergy between Oslo and the historic shores of Pulsano, Puglia, weaving together a sophisticated musical tapestry that features Stravinsky’s rhythmic Suite Italienne, Lera Auerbach’s poignant first Piano Trio, the evocative Brahms Piano Quartett op.60 with some gems by Grieg, Respighi and Backer-Grøndahl. Beyond the live performances by a stellar ensemble of rising stars, the event offers a cinematic journey through Alice Bulloni’s Aftermovie, capturing the sun-drenched atmosphere of the festival’s inaugural edition. Organized in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute and Comites Oslo, this preview is more than a concert; it is an immersive invitation to discover a summer of world-class masterclasses and chamber music where the Mediterranean breeze meets the Nordic soul.
