Festival youth performance
Spotlight on the next generation.
This festive performance is a cherished tradition at the Bergen International Festival. Here, artists of the future step into the spotlight. Their artistic expressions range from ballet and jazz to piano and string instruments to name a few. What all the young contributors share is a great dedication and extensive rehearsals leading up to this celebration of talent.
The impressive performances have made the event an audience favourite. On stage, hand-picked talents from cultural schools across the Bergen region come together, and director Ann Terese Aasen weaves the segments into a gala performance.
