About the event
We are delighted to welcome the junior group of Nasjonalt Klavertiltak (National Piano Initiative), presented by the Prof. Jiri Hlinka Piano Academy, for an afternoon piano concert at Rasmussen Samlingene.
The young pianists have spent the weekend in Bergen taking masterclasses with Marina Pliassova, Julie Yuqing Ye, and Torleif Torgersen. Now you have the opportunity to experience the results, a remarkable showcase of young, talented pianists performing on the grand piano in our Pentagon hall.
The programme will be announced on the day of the concert.
Performers
Maximilian Beck · Leonardo Remmereit · Kaja Kong Halvorsen · Hanna-Louise Holm · Emil Alexander Ren Johansson · Yekaterina Krasilnikova · Anna Kamata Sydnes
About the Academy
Klaverakademiet
Klaverakademiet brings together talented pianists and young performers at the beginning of their professional journeys. Three masterclasses are held here each year, including one during the Bergen International Festival. Students travel from across Norway and abroad to study, rehearse and perform.
Concerts produced in partnership with organisations in the region form part of the academy’s teaching, and the programme is recognised both within Norway and internationally. The academy was founded by Professor Jiri Hlinka and is now led artistically and educationally by his former students Leif Ove Andsnes, Geir Botnen, Havard Gimse and Christian Ihle Hadland.

About the Artists
Audun Hetland (1920–1998): A master of the sharp line and satirical humour. His erotic works are an artistic exploration of desire and the human body, balancing playfulness and provocation and offering a thoughtful and expressive perspective on human intimacy.
Kjell Nupen (1955–2014): One of Norway’s most significant contemporary artists. His work is celebrated for its poetic depth, evolving from the social criticism of the 1970s into a meditative, colour-rich visual language that has become a defining influence in Norwegian art history.
