Generation singalong

Festival square

People who love to sing, across several generations from grandchildren to grandparents, gather for communal singing and singalong at the Festival square. The Generations choir is led by conductor Håkon Matti Skrede, and the audience is encouraged to join in singing together with the choir on stage.

'I hope to involve the whole community in song, and in this way raise awareness about daring to use your voice. It's important to hear your own voice, listen to others' voices, and sing together,' said the conductor when he led the people’s choir that opened the 2024 Bergen International Festival.

The Generations choir is part of the Generation – a festival on ageing, which works to promote an age-friendly society.
