Upcoming Events

Kronos Quartet

Ticketed, in-person event

Family concert at the Aquarium with the Festival artist-in-residence.

Inside the Rotunda, a large, round room with aquariums from floor to ceiling, you can hear one of the world’s very best string quartets play for you – and for all the fish! The event takes place inside the Bergen Aquarium on the public holiday Ascension Day, allowing you to meet penguins, flounders and sharks before or after the concert!
