Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite

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

Edvard Grieg wrote From Holberg’s Time (Op. 40) in 1884. Popularly known as the Holberg Suite, Grieg described the work as a “suite in olden style”.

As a tribute to Ludvig Holberg, he drew inspiration from the French Baroque dance suite, with movements such as prelude, sarabande and gavotte. He combined these forms with a Romantic musical language and his own distinctive lyrical voice. The result is an elegant and graceful homage to Holberg’s era, seen through Grieg’s national romantic lens.

Here, you can enjoy intimate and vivid concert experiences performed by young award winning pianists.

The concert lasts 30 minutes.

Troldhaugen’s villa is closed for necessary rehabilitation work. The exhibition, concert hall, café, and outdoor areas remain open and welcome visitors.
