Festival and project support

The Savings Bank Foundation DNB

The Savings Bank Foundation DNB is an independent foundation that has as one of its main goals to increase the interest and understanding of art and culture, especially among children and young people. They do this by supporting projects that ensure good dissemination and invite participation. Dextra Musica is a subsidiary of The Savings Bank Foundation DNB, which since 2006 has bought valuable string instruments with the purpose of lending them to Norwegian musicians.

With support from The Savings Bank Foundation DNB, the festival offers performances from young world-class musicians and outstanding international artists in the Troldsalen and composer homes of Grieg and Sæverud at Troldhaugen and Siljustøl, and in Håkonshallen.

In addition, The Savings Bank Foundation DNB supports Bergen International Festival's talent development programme for young composers, Festival Academy of Bergen (FAB), through funding and collaboration.

The Bergen International Festival thanks The Savings Bank Foundation DNB for the support.
