Bergen Children's Choir Festival

closing concert

The tip of Grieghallen is filled with singing voices as the Bergen Children's Choir Festival holds its closing concert. Earlier that same day, several hundred young choir singers performed mini-concerts on the Festival's outdoor stage, and the day concludes indoors with a larger concert finale.

On stage are the Edvard Grieg Girls' Choir, Edvard Grieg Youth Choir, the Øygarden cultural school choir, and the Norwegian National Youth Choir.

The United Nations declared 2025 as the International Year for Glaciers' Preservation, and the theme for this year's Children's Choir Festival is environmental protection. The programme includes songs about nature and the planet.
