Lunchtime concert at Siljustøl: Martha Berit Belt

Welcome to lunchtime concerts at Siljustøl every Sunday in July!

Here you will meet some of our leading young pianists, who present their own selected Sæverud repertoire with musical knowledge and a personal twist.

About the artist

Martha Berit Belt completed her master's degree at the Grieg Academy in 2016, after studies with Signe Bakke. During her master's studies, she immersed herself in the music of Olivier Messiaen. She has also had lessons with Håvard Gimse and Julius Drake.

Belt has a versatile performance as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist. Among other things, she has played concerts in the Grieg-Begegnungsstätte in Leipzig and at the Nouvelle Scene Nationale in Cergy-Pontoise, France.

In recent years, she has given a number of concerts at Troldhaugen, both as pianist of the week in the summer and in Grieg's villa. Belt is a pianist in the chamber group Ensemble Eon.
