Daily concerts: Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite

Concert at Troldhaugen
9 June – 13 September
Tuesday to Sunday every day
14:00

Enjoy an intimate and vivid performance by young award winning pianists: Edvard Grieg’s music takes on an entirely new depth when you experience it in the very place where it was composed. A concert at his home Troldhaugen makes it even clearer why this setting still feels like a key to understanding – and coming closer to – his music

Edvard Grieg composed From Holberg’s Time (Op. 40) in 1884. Created as a tribute to Ludvig Holberg, the work draws inspiration from the French Baroque dance suite, with movements such as prelude, sarabande and gavotte.

Grieg combined these classical forms with a Romantic musical language and his own distinctive lyrical voice. The result is an elegant and graceful homage to Holberg’s era.

Grieg performed the suite frequently throughout his life. The piano on which he most likely composed it – a Hals instrument – is on display in his composer’s hut at Troldhaugen.

The concert lasts 30 minutes.

Please Note: The ticket includes museum admission. Troldhaugen’s villa is closed for necessary rehabilitation work. The exhibition, concert hall, café, and outdoor areas are open.
