Kristiansand Symfoniorkester
Orchestra
Our dear friends from Sørlandet, KSO, return for two of this year's most special concerts, following a European triumph few Norwegian orchestras can match.
About the Artist
For a classical musician, there's nothing bigger than playing a concert at the Musikverein in Vienna.
You can't just walk up and ask to play at the Musikverein in Vienna. The Golden Hall, the most exclusive orchestral venue in the world, knows how to protect its reputation. Only the best get invited, and our dear friends at KSO filled this hall this fall. What a victory for the orchestra and classical music in Southern Norway.
It would be remiss of us not to collaborate with them on two of the most unique classical concerts Southern Norway has to offer: the Festival Choir at Frydendal Church and the grand Festival Concert at Stangholmen. In 2025, well over 2,000 people attended these two concerts alone.
That's what happens when two of Norway's most important classical music institutions join forces. It's always a pleasure to invite our quality-conscious and dear regional friends, Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, to this year's Risør Chamber Music Festival!
