Founded in 2016 by pianist and Artistic Director Leif Ove Andsnes, the Rosendal Chamber Music Festival has established itself as one of the most interesting and unique festivals of its kind.
Exploring a different theme each year centred around a particular composer or musical period, Rosendal has made its international mark as “a small but big festival in the wilds of Norway” (El Pais), “rich and precious for the quality of the performers and for the depth of its themed programmes” (La Repubblica).
This summer Leif Ove Andsnes focuses on Johannes Brahms whose rich and varied chamber music resulted in some of the genre’s most pivotal works. Over four days from 10 – 13 August, Andsnes will be joined by twenty-five guest artists for a packed programme of talks and concerts, exploring Brahms’s iconic works and the gypsy music which inspired him.
