The International Edvard Grieg Piano Competition
The International Edvard Grieg Piano Competition was founded in 2000 by professor Einar Steen-Nøkleberg, and from 2000 till 2011 the competition was located at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. In 2012 the competition moved to Troldhaugen, Edvard Grieg's picturesque home on the outskirts of Bergen. With this move, the prizes increased and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra entered as the orchestra for the final round.
The competition seeks to offer participants not only a world-class event, but also the unique opportunity to gain an understanding of Grieg’s world of inspiration by experiencing Norwegian hospitality, culture and nature.
