A warm welcome to all our 27 concerts at
the Oslo Chamber Music Festival! We present
music ranging from the Middle Ages to not
yet written, performed by artists from the
top of our list. We want our concerts to
create reflection, deep insights and
enthusiasm.
I have noticed that some people think Oslo
audiences are overdoing things when they
express their enthusiasm with “too many”
standing ovations. I can’t see anything negative
about showing enthuasiasm, and I think we
should be allowed to express it whatever other
people think. I have experienced audiences
clapping between movements in
Carnegie Hall, Musikverein and Berlin
Philharmonie, and I am told that in Beethoven’a
time the audience not only applauded between
movements if they were enthuasiastic, but also
demanded encores.
Of course, there are musical moments where
silence feels more natural than thunderous
applause and cheers. But when it feels right, I
think we should let ourselves be carried away.
We hope for both silence, reflection,
absorption and enthusiasm in this year’s Oslo
Chamber Music Festival. A warm welcome to you
all!
