May 22, 2019

Noah Bendix-Balgley is a new mentor in the Crescendo programme, which brings together younger and more experienced musicians in concert and in personal musical encounters throughout the year. The young talented artists that Bendix-Balgley has taken under his wing have already accumulated plenty of routine and recognition in the course of their careers, and all have performed at the Bergen International Festival before.
